As in Ken "Hawk" Harrelson? He used to own a couple sub shops in the Boston area (played here for awhile). I ate more than a few times at the Hawk Shop just off the Lynnway in Lynn. (And I remember him doing Red Sox games, with Dick Stockton
IIRC)
From the Astros site:
"Mayor Bill White today encouraged Houstonians to support the Houston Astros in their first ever World Series appearance against the Chicago White Sox by wearing their team gear and discarding their socks. The Mayor declared Friday, Oct. 21, through Sunday, Oct. 23 "No Socks" Weekend in Houston."
yes...IMHO Ken and Darren Jackson do a good job broadcasting..I read somewhere Ken is enjoying this from his home in Fla.
