And how he went after the Sox Defense for screwing up routine plays. We won't be seeing that anymore. |

Hawk is one of the last old dogs with equal parts personality/passion. MANY pound on him in the same manner Santo used to get smacked around. Until he was gone... then Ronny was missed. I miss Santo and I will miss Hawk. Salute.

Hawk is going to be missed. My parting gift to him would be a custom set of golf clubs with a big Hawk logo on them. |

Love Hawk. He is going to be missed. The days of broadcasters like him are coming to an end and there will never be a time quite like it. If the Cubs did not need this game so bad I would be pulling for a Sox win in his final game. Thanks for all the memories Hawk. |

I moved to Chicago in 95. Hawk and Wimpy were awesome. You can't last forever. Definitely will miss his approach to calling a game. |

He should have been Boston or Oakland's problem all these years but Reinsdorf was obsessed with hiring ex-players to do play-by-play. |

Going to miss him. Big part of my childhood and teenage years as a Sox fan. |

Hawk was exactly what you wanted as a TV broadcaster for the majority of his career. A guy who is relatable to fans and could tell some old stories. He had character. And was a character. He struggled the last few years but that doesn't diminish his greatness for most of his run. |
