Rawlings Official Major League Hall of Fame baseball. Hand-signed and inscribed by Ken "Hawk" Harrelson (Oakland Athletics; Washington Senators; Boston Red Sox; Cleveland Indians).As the famous White Sox announcer Hawk is known for his homerism (open expression of pro-home team bias) and catch phrases; also known as "Hawkisms". Popular "Hawkisms" include: "You can put it on the board! Yes! Yes! A bomb for (insert player here)" after a Sox home run; "He gone!" and/or "Grab some bench!" after a strikeout of an opposing player; and "Stretch!" when a White Sox player hits a ball toward the outfield fence. Hawk often states "Sacks packed with Sox" when the bases are loaded.When a telecast begins; Hawk states; "Sit back. Relax and strap it down" to the viewers; right before commercial break before the first pitch. Harrelson refers to the White Sox as "the good guys" (based on the team's mid-1990s slogan Good Guys Wear Black). When a White Sox player hits a ball which appears to be heading foul; Harrelson often states "Stay fair!" Hawk will state "Dadgummit" when a ball that looks to be a home run is caught short of the wall or in general when a play does not go the White Sox's way. When a hitter hits a long foul ball that would have been a home run if it were fair; Hawk will say "right size; wrong shape." If a White Sox hitter makes good contact; but the ball is hit where a fielder can make the out; Hawk says; "That's a hang with-em." For a time; Hawk often stated "Hell yes!" after an advantageous event for the White Sox. While he insists that exclaiming "Hell yes!" is not contrived and is a product of his devotion to the White Sox; it has generated some controversyThe lot / autograph(s) includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes. The signing of this item was witnessed by JSA.Authentication: JSA COA
