    I believe that Hawk Harrelson is deserving of this honor. He is a class act and a true gentleman.

    I love it!

    His loyalty to the White Sox always puzzled me because he played in Boston(I think), or Cleveland.

    I never thought he would stay; like Chicago was just a stepping stone.

    He stayed though, through thick and thin, and I God Bless him for it.

    Thanks Hawk.We love you!!
