Including Mark Buehrle's Perfect game and amazing between the leg play I DO NOT OWN THESE CLIPS EVEN THOUGH I PUT THEM TOGETHER EVERYTHING IS OWNED AND COPYRIGHTED BY THE MLB
What is wrong with being biased? He's an announcer for the white sox why shouldn't he root for his team? I'm a lifelong yankees fan but I watch a lot of replays and hawk is one of a few announcers that really stood out because of his emotion and catch phrases.
SirGhostly there is a limit to how biased you should be like when west called a balk it was a balk yet he’s saying how he should take a break and even though it’s the right call
2:24 - 2:33 Say what you want, but I'm sure ALL White Sox's fans had that exact same reaction. That's what makes him different. He's not just a broadcaster. He's also a fan of his team
As a rays fan who watched that broadcast because I was out of town at the time and wanted to hear different announcers I had the total opposite reaction in that moment lol
"MERCYY!." "That ball hit deep....STRETCH....STRETCH....You caaaaaaaaan puuuuuuut it on the boooooooard...YES!...YES!" How can you not love the hawk. He is fucking awesome.
As a White Sox fan, who was born in, and has lived all but 5 years of my (nearly) 40 years on this earth, in Chicago, IL (and its bordering suburbs - Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park), I am truly touched by all the non-White Sox fans who give due "props" to Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson for his unique style! I would like to thank you for appreciating a truly great and one-of-a-kind MLB announcer! A very special and heart-felt THANK YOU!!!, from "the Windy City"/a.k.a. "Second City"! from a humble Chicago Sox fan. 'YOU can PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARRRD....YESSSS!!!! "Mercy!!!" "He gone!!!!!"
As a Dodgers fan I like Ken because of his enthusiasm and his home run call is just unique. Too many announcers these days are just too plain and that's why a lot of people think baseball is boring. But I got my friends to listen to Vin Scully and they were blown away by his stories and stats which really got them engaged into the game
The guy was absolutely something special. I listen to the ninth inning call of Buerhle's perfect game every now and then. It's like a shot of excitement and emotion and love for a team and it's players all wrapped in one, and he did it in as few words as possible and made every word mean something. Hawk was what a hometown announcer should be.
I'm a Yankee fan, and Ken Singleton will say "He gone" like The Hawk a lot. But I love the Hawk. Especially with Buehrle's perfect game..."ALLLLEXXXXEEEEEEIIIIIII!!!"
Whether you like Hawk or not, you can't doubt the fact that he does care about how the White Sox fare, win or lose. If he takes it personally, at least he's being honest about his feelings, even when he goes over the top.
I don't care what anyone says. This guy is great. "You can put it on the boooooooaaaard ! YES !" Lol love it ! The only guy in the league i can think of who can match that is the Giants announcer. And NO I'M NOT A WHITE SOX FAN either.
Jedi Knight Hawk is the greatest announcer...EVER! I'm not saying this just because I've been a Whitesox fan since my first game in 1982, when I was 5...but just because of his unique style, his passion for the game, and just his voice! Hawk RULES!!!
I'm a Mets fan, but I have to say I like Hawk and really enjoy listening to him. He makes watching interesting, he tell stories, jokes etc. Just like our 3 man team of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. I really respect Hawk.
+bud knowitall The word you're looking for is drivel. Dribble is (ex.) "What's that white stuff dribbling down your chin bud?" said the smiling priest.
+Kwame Brown You know what...I want the guy announcing the WHITE SOX game to be a WHITE SOX fan. Last time I looked, the Hawk is a WHITE SOX ANNOUNCER. Most of us are fucking sick and tired of the ESP- NY BIAS. I for one don't give a rat's ass if the Yankees or Red Sox win a fucking game all year.
Never a dull moment when Hawk calls a game. His "You can put it on the board" is one of the most legendary catchphrases in baseball other than Niehaus' "grand salami time". Also one of the last old-school announcers left in the biz (Scully being the other of course).
@@Gwazi I do. Hawk is a moron who doesn't know the rule to the game and bashes umpire on any close call that goes against the Sox even when the umpires are correct. The best thing to ever happened to baseball was Hawk's retirement,
He's one of top announcers in baseball, gotta respect and like him. Yes, he is a big homer for his Sox, but that's what's so good about him. He loves his team. Respect the Hawk
barber215 No reason why people should hate him. If I was a white sox fan Id love Hawk. Homers arent bad, people forget that is audience is predominantly white sox fans.
"You can put it on the board Mercy! Mercy!!" When Harry Kalas passed MLB network did a segment where other announcers paid respects and this is when I first discovered Hawk. Every Baseball city should have a broadcaster that can bring the game to life the way he would. Those guys are a part of the game too. They are the voice of our summers.
Braves fan here. Gotta be the best announcer ever. "HE GONNNNEE!!" My friends and I used to imitate his calls all the time and they always made us laugh. Hawk was truly one of a kind. I mean how could you not love that moment at 2:20. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
I remember being a kid and knew nothing of baseball. But I *LOVED* when The Hawk got excited like that! I would wait for a Sox homerun just to hear him say this!! Forever a legend!!
STRETCH!! STRETCH!! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARRRDDD!! YES! YES! MERCY!! BEEN UH FAN OF THE WHITE SOX ALL MY LIFE. ONE LOVE HAWK. MUCH LOVE BIG HURT✊🏿🖤
From this lifelong Houston Astros fan listening to Ken makes these calls is great. You can tell he loves his team and his job. Keep it up Mr Harrelson.
Nothing better than listening to The Hawk call a ball game with Steve Stone. I'll always remember watching the Buehrle perfect game live on TV and going just as crazy about it as they did. Great memories with Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson, an absolute legend.
Rocketman9mm the hawk is so for the home side, "the good guys" that's why the white Sox fans love em and teams "the other guys" don't and their fans are annoyed by him
I remember watching the perfect game live an still its the best play an 1 of best play call combo i think I've heard for the catch for perfect game (hole 9th inning)
He got more and more catch phrasy and emotional as he got older. He'd come up with them all on the spot. One day I remember he just said 'stretch!' and then it was there for good. He reached his final form with that 'you gotta be bleepin me' thing he started pulling in the 2010s. That is just incredible, to end a 9th inning hr call like that @3:48. So ridiculous, I love it.
Everything a color commentator should be, and then some. What a legend. I’m an A’s fan, but hearing Hawk make calls puts almost sends you to another era.
As a die hard Detroit Tigers fan, I absolutely LOVED hearing Ken “The Hawk” Harrelson’s broadcasts of the games. I looked forward to a White Sox player hitting a home run, just to hear him say, “You can put it on the boarrrrrd…..YES!!! YES!!! Mercy!!!” It cracked me up every single time. He’s definitely GOAT status. 👏🏾👌🏾🎤🎙️⚾️
He's one of those announcers that's absolutely horrible, that he's entertaining to listen to. He isn't good by any means whatsoever. But he's special. Oh, and no, I'm not a fan of the Cubs. Go Tigers! I'm not the hugest fan of our booth either. But if you want good commentators, my favorite ones are the Giants, Rays, and the Nationals. I also do like the Cubs booth, for the record, because while enthusiasm is a good thing, being a jackass isn't. My favorite radio booths are the Mariners, the Indians, the Tigers (I do love Dan on our radio broadcast), the Giants, and the Braves. I don't like how anyone who dislikes the culture of the White Sox is suddenly a "hater" with no reason for their dislike. Get over yourselves and maybe start showing up at the games instead of fighting with people on the internet.
YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPIN' ME!! MERCY!! I thought that was a duck snort to right, but it was a hang wif'em. You cain't get it pass that guy in right with a 30-30. Mercy. Well, we just gotta hunker down, and cinch it up. We gotta bow our necks to win this one...... THAT BALL HIT DEEP!.......STRETCH! STRETCH!....... HE LOOKS UP!!..... YOU CAN...... PUT IT ON THE BOOAARRDD! YESS! YESS! HELL YEAH!! DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!!
Hawk is a legend-- as a cardinals fan I put up with similar uhh eccentricities to Hawk with our long time radio broadcaster, Mike Shannon, who in his later years was tough to listen to. But announcers like this reach icon status for one reason, the raw emotion that comes through in their calls born out of their legitimate fanhood of the team they're announcing for. Awesome stuff, what a guy.
I’m a Detroit Tigers fan to the bone but man I love the Sox announcer! Great personality and just makes watching the game exciting and enjoyable! Respect.
In that first clip, I remember watching that game live. It was the opening game back in 2010 and his 2009 perfect game was still very fresh in our minds. Very exciting game to watch.
Hawk is the quintessential hometown announcer with passion for his team, and that is the exactly the job of a guy like that. Hell of a broadcaster. I would’ve loved being in the box knowing that if I took one deep that Hawk would be making that call. That would fire me up.
Was watching a Padre game highlights (we won, yyyyes... yyyyes!) and saw a homerun and thought of this guy. So I ditched my game highlights to watch this. Great announcer, I remember his classic homerun calls :)
Honestly, the best calls were the whole games. During the lulls, dude always had a story to pull out of his ass to share. He remarked on good things he'd seen from the players up without getting too much into stats. Then when things were not so dull, he showed fire and passion and hometown energy. What's not to like?
Have been raised a white sox fan. All I knew was whenever somebody hit a home run it was "You cannn put it on the boardddd!! Yesssss!!!" And "He gone" after strikeouts. My mom and grandma have never and will never go to Wrigley. That's how serious my family takes it.
Man this guy is UNIQUE! Everyone is super progressive these days but they want their baseball to remain untouched and "boring". They like Vin Scully but they cant take a guy like Hawk Harrelson. 95% of his dialogue is nothing but kudos, credit, and good things to say about other players and the last 5% are talking about his own guys on the field He's super critical of his team and VERY supportive. Yes, he's a homer, but he's the one guy who can pull it off largely because of how much respect he gives other. When Kerry Wood retired in 2012 Hawk went on a 5-10 minute rant about Kerry, his wife, kids, and his life and how much he respected him and the Cubs. People just like to hate, but Hawk will be going into the HoF and i cant wait to see them bitch about it hahaha
A’s fan here but I loved watching the Six when they were won superstation because of Hawk. How can anyone be upset that is rooting for the Six since he is their announcer?
I love Steve Stone, who I confess, I couldn't stand when he was calling games for the Cubs. We do have two great characters now. Harry was great in his day for you guys.
As a Giants fan, I still love to listen to clips of Hawk. He's almost like a random Sox fan who gets to call games.
What is wrong with being biased? He's an announcer for the white sox why shouldn't he root for his team? I'm a lifelong yankees fan but I watch a lot of replays and hawk is one of a few announcers that really stood out because of his emotion and catch phrases.
SirGhostly there is a limit to how biased you should be like when west called a balk it was a balk yet he’s saying how he should take a break and even though it’s the right call
I'd rather listen to an interesting homer than a boring know it all announcer who criticizes everything!
Kuruma Uzamaki explain how it was a balk
stewps maybe some, but as a sox fan i was never embarrassed or annoyed by him
stewps ya he is pretty old now. but i still miss him
2:24 - 2:33 Say what you want, but I'm sure ALL White Sox's fans had that exact same reaction. That's what makes him different. He's not just a broadcaster. He's also a fan of his team
As a rays fan who watched that broadcast because I was out of town at the time and wanted to hear different announcers I had the total opposite reaction in that moment lol
"MERCYY!." "That ball hit deep....STRETCH....STRETCH....You caaaaaaaaan puuuuuuut it on the boooooooard...YES!...YES!" How can you not love the hawk. He is fucking awesome.
Always will be a favorite I love his passion its wat I wanna hear as a baseball fan watching
And the INFAMOUS........"GAS"

As a White Sox fan, who was born in, and has lived all but 5 years of my (nearly) 40 years on this earth, in Chicago, IL (and its bordering suburbs - Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park), I am truly touched by all the non-White Sox fans who give due "props" to Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson for his unique style!
I would like to thank you for appreciating a truly great and one-of-a-kind MLB announcer!
A very special and heart-felt THANK YOU!!!, from "the Windy City"/a.k.a. "Second City"! from a humble Chicago Sox fan.
'YOU can PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARRRD....YESSSS!!!!
"Mercy!!!"
"He gone!!!!!"

I have always assumed as a yankee fan everyone knows about the hawk
Nailed it with enthusiasm.
He gone is so simple yet I LOVE IT
I'm a Yankee fan, and Ken Singleton will say "He gone" like The Hawk a lot. But I love the Hawk. Especially with Buehrle's perfect game..."ALLLLEXXXXEEEEEEIIIIIII!!!"
I loved when Kenny announced
Whether you like Hawk or not, you can't doubt the fact that he does care about how the White Sox fare, win or lose. If he takes it personally, at least he's being honest about his feelings, even when he goes over the top.
+Ulysses432 Stoney&Hawk~YES YESS YESSS!!!
People calling him a homer, which he is, probably haven't heard Hawk's comments when he is disappointed or upset when the Sox play badly.
I don't care what anyone says. This guy is great. "You can put it on the boooooooaaaard ! YES !" Lol love it !
The only guy in the league i can think of who can match that is the Giants announcer.
And NO I'M NOT A WHITE SOX FAN either.

Greg brown
David Stanley mercy!
Phillies fan and I have always liked Tom Mccarthy and the GOAT Harry Kalas before him.
Mets announcer is pretty good too
I'm a Mets fan, but I have to say I like Hawk and really enjoy listening to him. He makes watching interesting, he tell stories, jokes etc. Just like our 3 man team of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. I really respect Hawk.
try listening to the same mindless dribble year after year after year, it isnt so fun

Nobody had more passion than Hawk, nobody.
Never a dull moment when Hawk calls a game. His "You can put it on the board" is one of the most legendary catchphrases in baseball other than Niehaus' "grand salami time". Also one of the last old-school announcers left in the biz (Scully being the other of course).
Hawk is one of the worst announcers in baseball, and has the most annoying and idiotic catch phrases in baseball.
Fine you can stick to the insipid 'it's gone' catchphrases done by most announcers if that floats your boat.
wyssmaster not many people share that opinion with you
@@Gwazi I do. Hawk is a moron who doesn't know the rule to the game and bashes umpire on any close call that goes against the Sox even when the umpires are correct. The best thing to ever happened to baseball was Hawk's retirement,

That catch to save the perfect game was crazy
The whole team had a perfect game
Big B...pure class DWise got a steak or 2 on Bstab i bet. Haha. Good guys win!
It rivals Mays' catch.
I was literally shaking with goosebumps during this. I still get goosebumps watching it
As a die hard Cardinals fan might be the greatest play I've ever seen. Great sub by Ozzie, remarkable catch by Wise.
I need one of just "He gone" moments lol
Chuck Gladden Watch old Chris Sale highlights, then you'll get a lot of those. From a Cubs fan, he still entertains me with his calls
"You can put it on the board Mercy! Mercy!!"

What is a kid I am telling you watching the game hawk Harrelson used to get me so damn excited.YES!!!!!!
From this lifelong Houston Astros fan listening to Ken makes these calls is great. You can tell he loves his team and his job. Keep it up Mr Harrelson.
One of the best in the game coming from a Indians fan.
Fuck the tribe
As a Bears fan, we do the "He looks up..." call every time they score. Whole bar gets into it.
“Put it on the board,...Yes”. Easily the more manufactured call in baseball.
I'm a big Oakland A's who lives in Chicago and I love Hawk Harrelson!!! MERCY
I'm not even a Sox fan and this whole video gave me goosebumps
That Dwayne Wise play coupled with the Hawk reaction is one of my favorite baseball moments in history. Coming from a braves fan
Nothing better than listening to The Hawk call a ball game with Steve Stone. I'll always remember watching the Buehrle perfect game live on TV and going just as crazy about it as they did. Great memories with Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson, an absolute legend.
Hey, every announcer has their signature home run call. And IMO, Hawk's call is one of the more interesting ones.
You spelled "irritating" wrong. Buddy sounds like a mattress salesman
There is NO better home run call in the history of the game than the YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRD YESSSSSS
I'm not a sox fan, I'm a tigers fan and I love listening to hawk, he always says good things about other players on other teams, great announcer
Fuck the kitty katz
First time I’ve thought about Mark Teahen in at least 6 years
At 0:48 is he saying "poo out the butt" .LMAO
It's "who wants to bunt"...Pierre is not a power hitter by any means. :)
***** I believe its "who wants to bunt"
tits 😂🤣😂
no, definitely poo out the butt
How am I both entertained and annoyed by this guys calls?
I know right! lol
Cuz he's awesome and goes crazy some times
Rocketman9mm the hawk always has some home cookin goin on he loves the pale hoes!
Sameeee

Go White Sox! Ken "Hawk" Harrelson is the best!
you mean the worst. garbage.
Coming from retarded scrub "fans" ignore those 2 ass hats. Hawk has more excitement than those 2 morons in the scrub booth

I've never understand the hate for this guy. As a Mets fan I have been spoiled my whole life with great announcers but this guy is such a beast😂😂
One of my favs on RUclips
Miss Hawk 🥶🥶 one of the best announcers of all time

Damn I miss "The Hawk"! Mercy!
I love how nonchalant the "Yes" was in final clip (Rios catch) lol. Perfect way to end the video.
Harry Caray. The Hawk. John Miller. Kuiper & Krukow. Some of my favorite announcers.
I wish Dave O’Brien the Red Sox play by play announcer was this enthusiastic, hawk does a good job keeping his audience
i love this guy quit hatin on the legend yes yes mercy
he was the true voice of the white sox
YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRDDDDDD

Yes, he's a homer, but he's the one guy who can pull it off largely because of how much respect he gives other.
When Kerry Wood retired in 2012 Hawk went on a 5-10 minute rant about Kerry, his wife, kids, and his life and how much he respected him and the Cubs.
People just like to hate, but Hawk will be going into the HoF and i cant wait to see them bitch about it hahaha
I love ken harrelson. I'm not even a white sox fan but I'm jealous of their announcers. Dbacks need some fire. Put it on the board!!
Best commentator for baseball ever period
Hawk Harrelson is truly the Jim Ross of MLB
this guy is awesome!! you can put it onn the booooaaarrddd... yes!! yes!!! MERCY!!
Grew up watching the white Sox, this guy is a LEGEND
I love his “ya gotta be bleeping me”

How can anyone be upset that is rooting for the Six since he is their announcer?
First highlight
I remember watching that LIVE
Im a die hard Cubs fan and I love Hawk Harrelson
I love Steve Stone, who I confess, I couldn't stand when he was calling games for the Cubs. We do have two great characters now. Harry was great in his day for you guys.
one of the most hype announcers
It's like M. Bison became a baseball commentator.
"YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPING ME!" LOL!!!
You can put it on the BOARRRRDDDDDD. YES YES YES
i got chills watching the perfect game
thank you so much for posting this. As a sox fan their are few things better then hawk calling a game
