Harrelson, Kenneth (Baseball, 1976)

Harrelson starred in baseball, basketball, and golf in the 1950s at Benedictine Military School. An outstanding American Legion baseball player, he was All-City and All-State at BC and led the Cadets to the region basketball title his senior year.

Favorite player on the current roster to watch / talk about.

Favorite catch phrase that he still uses, favorite one that he no longer does?

Ask him if he thought up any new catch phrases this offseason. I need to be prepared.

Does he have his SI cover shot framed?

YAZ all hour!

does he like the way instant replay is used? was he for or against it? has his opinion changed? should it be expanded? are umpires as good or better now than in the olden days? should they be supervised better? and what is inside joe west’s head where his brain should be?

i always thought this would feel weird

and are hanging above a pit of lava in an old volcano by ropes. Thought dormant, recent seismic activity has it ready to blow. The men are tied up, gagged and blindfolded, and cannot hear you over the increasing roar as the lava tubes within the volcano fill.

It’s getting unstable. The ropes suspending the two men won’t hold up much longer. There is time to get one of them down and escape the volcano, but not much. If he tries to save them both, they all die. He has to choose one to live, and one to die. He has ten second to decide- any longer, and everyone dies.

So ask Hawk who he would save from the volcano, Walk or Coop? 10… 9… 8…

just let him take it from there.

The Tampa Bay Rays and the Red Sox. I have read that the players on each team really don’t like each other, as opposed to Yanks Rsox, where it’s more of a fan rivalry, and the players are ambivalent.

When playing for Washington, the KC A’s, Boston, or Cleveland, was there a team that his team was just ready to run on the field and brawl as soon as the line-up cards were brought out?

The WSox and Twins seem to have a mutual respect for each other. We get frustrated with alot of the compliments thrown back and forth, and then the Twins throw at our batters, and we do nothing. Does a good, healthy loathing focus a team at all, or is it more of a distraction? When a team seems to own us, is there a productive way to try to break that cycle?

and if he indeed does please inform him that he has officially arrived.

“Don’t stop now boys”

[[ WILD APPLAUSE ]]

chya boooy!

Examining ancient history — The story of Ed Farmer getting in a brawl after inducing a groundout, and some anonymous floozy says she was partying with some Cubbies at 4AM the night before NLCS game 3.

And how much Stone Pony’s wife loves it, etc. Can’t get enough of it.

I’d ask him why he’s stuck with the White Sox all these years when he had no ties with them as a player.

Also, the White Sox haven’t had a winning record against the Twins for five straight seasons, and only once in the past 10 seasons (’05 of course). The past two years have been laughably bad. What does he think needs to change strategy-wise to turn things around against our biggest competitor, and are the Sox actually psyched-out in some weird way?
