'Hawk' Harrelson Talking Bobblehead Design Revealed

CHICAGO, IL – The Chicago White Sox have released the look of the Ken "Hawk" Harrelson talking bobblehead for 2018, the legendary announcer's final season after a 33-year career in the broadcast booth with the team. The design is a throwback tribute to the time when Harrelson was shown on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1968, the White Sox noted in a statement on Monday.

Harrelson is expected to retire from the White Sox' broadcast booth after the 2018 baseball season and hasn't been an every game play-by-play voice in three years. The look of the bobblehead comes from Harrelson's playing days. In 1968 he was a member of the Boston Red Sox and a teammate of Carl "Yaz" Yastrzemski, player he's been known to reference more than once in a modern day baseball broadcast.

The bobblehead design shows Harrelson in a powder blue suit with the SI description of "the boulevardier of the American League." It's complete with an oversized cream-colored cowboy hat and signature sunglasses.

Of course the "talking" part of the figure will feature iconic phrases like "He Gone!" and "You Can Put It On The Board, Yes!"

The White Sox say only way to receive the exclusive SoxFest 2018 Ken “Hawk” Harrelson talking bobblehead is by securing a two-night SoxFest hotel package, which are $286 plus fees at the Hilton Chicago.
