MLB Network To Air Documentary On Ken 'The Hawk' Harrelson
(CBS) Ever wondered how exactly White Sox television broadcaster Ken 'The Hawk' Harrelson got to be the way he is?
In a new documentary titled Hawk: The Colorful Life of Ken Harrelson, MLB Network will dive deep into the life of the famed player-turned-broadcaster, who is celebrating his 50th year in Major League Baseball.
Airing Thursday, July 18 at 6:00 p.m. CT, the hour-long documentary, narrated by Bob Costas, will feature Hawk telling stories of what "Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams thought of each other's playing ability; his friendship with Mickey Mantle; meeting Hall of Fame NFL coach Vince Lombardi; and being encouraged to pursue professional golf by Jack Nicklaus," a press release on the film states.
Hawk even explains why he never became a manager.
"I turned down three manager's jobs and that's the reason I turned them down: because my temper is not conducive to being a good manager at all," he said.
