Hawk Harrelson called his final game for the White Sox on Sunday, and fans came out to support the long-time broadcaster.
It effectively closed out Harrelson’s 33-year tenure as the team’s broadcaster, and fans will have to adjust to no longer hearing his signature phrase, “You can put it on the board!”
Harrelson did receive plenty of love at Guaranteed Rate Field from fans of both the Sox and Cubs during the ninth inning, when he received a great ovation.
