Interview with Ken “Hawk” Harrelson

Eeeek!  More Hugo Drax attax of fashion statements!

I was blessed to know Howard Cosell and Curt Gowdy. In separate conversations, they both told me the same thing—don’t ever try to please everybody. And I don’t. My detractors? I’ve been around too long to let it bother me.

...Lou Piniella is one of my dear friends. I just want to kick his ass.

Piniella probably knows more about hitting than anyone on the planet. He’s a hard-nosed son of a b- - - -. He loves to compete. He’d fight ya in a heartbeat.

Ozzie Guillen is one of the most powerful personalities of any manager I’ve ever seen. We wouldn’t have won this World Series ring without him.

...I’ve been married for 35 years. My wife saved my life.

When you marry a Greek, you don’t get much of a say about marriage. I haven’t seen a paycheck in 35 years.

I grew up listening to Harry Caray every night before bed in Savannah, Ga. He was on KMOX, the only station we could get baseball games. I'd listen to Harry and Joe Buck and fight off mosquitoes because we had big holes in our screens.

Joe Buck's a lot older than he looks.

I'll never forget his call of a Stan the Man homer in the bottom of the ninth, "Ga Ga Goo Gone!"

I'll never forget how he called Joe Crede the best overall thirdbaseman in the last 40 years.

I had no idea he had a stint as a professional golfer. I assume he didn't win any tournaments, but I wonder if he ever came close. Can't find any info on the web, only a page listing his 1980 winnings ($570), assuming it's the same guy.

"Ga Ga Goo Gone!"


A wonderful product by the way.

why does the world need an interview with this clown?

Seriously? It seems like he should work on being the best White Sox third baseman of the last 40 years first...

Hey, he is proving that he's the best White Sox third baseman of 2008. Journey of 1,000 steps, right?
