White Sox Announcers Have Inane Conversation

Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year - the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti - remains one. During the other half of the year, which he spends calling Sox road games with Hawk Harrelson, he becomes subject to the same brain-wasting disease that afflicts everyone exposed to the Hawk.


Take the following exchange, during which Stone makes a salient point about how in some cases having too much information can be a burden for ballplayers. Harrelson claims that's true of "especially Latin players." Stone, riffing on Harrelson's ludicrous claim that "they play a different game of baseball down in the islands," says, "They pretty much swing at - if it stays in the park you're swinging at it."


Is Harrelson talking about anyone in particular when he raises his ideas about how the greatest leaders retain their childlike qualities? I don't want to know.
