After it was explained to me, I'll tell you that it's not memory loss...it's emptying the trash.

I love that Farnsworth video! I'm guessing he used the same "training" regimen as Sammy ?

Stone and Harrelson have zero rapport.
Do you mean Homewood Flossmoor High School graduate Jason Benetti?
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.

I'm not a big fan of tossing around the PED tag, but if there's ever been a person to look at, Bautista would definitely be that guy.
He never has more than 16 HR in a season through 5 seasons, but at age 29, he busts out for 54 and hasn't hit less than 27 since. Hmmm.
I got nothin'.

Fangraphs has been rating MLB broadcast teams and just put this out this morning (yes, they know there are only 30 clubs, but some have multiple broadcast teams).
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-broa...and-31-32/
Quote:32. Chicago White Sox (Away)
Main Broadcasters: Hawk Harrelson and Steve Stone
Ratings (Charisma/Analysis/Overall): 2.3, 1.7, 1.9
Three Reader Comments
* Hawk's general interest in baseball waxes and wanes significantly at the game-to-game level, and whatever folksy charms he had have long since ossified into pull-string cliche.
* Hawk Harrelson, you are a misunderstood legend. Much like Henry Darger, you will not receive the recognition you deserve until you're gone.
* [Hawk] has tons of charisma, but the wrong kind.
Notes
There are a number of reader comments which roughly approximate the three published above, but which lack the requisite civility to be reproduced here. Generally speaking, there are few who possess a neutral opinion regarding Hawk Harrelson, now relegated (almost?) exclusively to away games. Only slightly more possess an unambiguously positive opinion.

I'm not sure he's the best...he may be...or not. I'm just sure he'll be named #1.

The rankings are crowdsourced, so just in terms of name recognition I don't see another broadcast team emerging as a clear #1.

I think 32 might be too high.

How it should have been presented:
...
31. Toronto Blue Jays
32. Getting hit by a bus
33. Chicago White Sox (away)
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
