Was there anything cooler than Ken Harrelson’s off-kilter Teddy Boy Ballgame look?
In the middle of today’s White Sox/Royals Cactus League thriller, KCSP’s Steve Stewart noted Ken Harrelson’s attendance and reminded listeners that back in the day, the Hawk was “something of a radical” with his “Beatle haircut”.
“Ken was one of the first major leaguers to sport a Nehru jacket,” declared Stewart. “I’ll bet that thing is buried in a trunk somewhere in his house.”
“It oughta be in a trunk deep under the sea”, grumbled Denny Matthews. I guess Denny’s not a big Beatles fan.
“Harrelson wasn’t exactly the Beau Brummel type,” explained Stewart, to which Matthews replied, “Beau Brummel….would’ve had him shot.”

1. Belfry Bob Posted: March 04, 2008 at 02:03 PM (#2705440)Yet another job for Luke Scott?
Who's Beau Brummel?
he published this book in 1969 to capitalize on his big 1968 Bosox season, but by the time it came out, he had already been traded to Cleveland
it was actually quite an amusing read
