Because he is a bad play-by-play guy? Perspective? Let's just say that....out of all the announcers who are homers towards the home team (like Scully, Santo, S. Caray) Hawk Harrelsonis definately the worst, and he doesn't even try and hide it. If you listen to a White Sox game (trust me the headache of hearing Hawk Harrelson voice will go away after a good night of drinking) there are several times during a game (not just once, but several times, mind you) that there will be "silence" in the booth between Hawk and DJ. And during this silence, as a viewer, you just get this awkward feeling. Hawk doesn't know how to call a game, or even carry a conversation during the game. And the fact that the White Sox haven't fired his sorry excuse of an broadcaster, is beyond mindboggling. I sat through these games, so I know how absolutely loathable that douche is: Link Link
