My favorite fact is that Hawk Harrelson is a former White Sox General Manager. That just blows my freakin' mind every time I think about it

Apparently (this is something I've heard from people that would know) the White Sox FO still asks Hawk for his opinions on operations decisions. The White Sox did not employ a defensive overshift for like four seasons because Hawk doesn't believe in it.

No one will ever hit 2 grand slams in an inning off the same pitcher again, no one will ever be as bad at being a GM and an announcer for a team ever again. No one will ever be a GM and an announcer for the same team ever again.

Artie was down on the field at Yankee Stadium doing some segment for "The Best drat Sports Show" and Sterling asked him how he got down there. Artie told him "I won a Suzyn Waldman lookalike contest." Sterling fired right back with "Well there is a resemblance!"

Rick Reilly may have topped even himself with this one.
