[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1414523, member: 588522"] Hawk became a cliche. He retired as one of the gold standards of the homer announcer cliche. I don't hate the sox as a cubs fan (I know, blasphemy), but as someone who is sometimes forced to listen to white sox streams, he at least made it moderately entertaining. That said, I can see how 100+ games of him can become ear bleedingly, mind meltingly awful. Watching the end of last nights game, you could tell he really cared for the team. He's one of maybe 10 announcers I can recognize within about 3 words. Whether you like him or not, he built something around his "talent". All that said, I wont be sad to see him go. [/QUOTE]
