He Gone


Hawk Harrleson crawled from under whatever rock he’s taken to in retirement to show up at a White Sox-sponsored golf event yesterday and run off his mouth.  The subject was ballparks, as in Wrigley Field and Fenway Park.

 

“That place sucks,” Harrelson said of Wrigley.  Although he never played a game there, the Hawk feels bad for all those players who’ve had to deal with the cramped quarters of the visiting clubhouse.  Renovations on the clubhouse have been completed since the Hawkeroo’s full retirement this season, not that it matters.

 

Oh, he admits, “Now for the fans, it’s great” and concedes Wrigley is “beautiful, and once you get on the field, it’s great.”  So, what’s your point, Hawk, beyond comparing the Cubs’ home to that of the Red Sox and to declare “Fenway sucks, it really does”?  Give Harrelson the money to build his dream ballpark, and he’d do about as good a job as he did as Sox general manager in 1986.

And we all know how that turned out.
