Ken Harrelson, the retired Hall of Fame broadcaster and lifelong White Sox fan, has spoken out about the team’s abysmal start to the 2023 season. Harrelson, who has been following the team closely from afar, called the team’s performance ‘ugly’ and ’embarrassing.’
Harrelson, who has been associated with the White Sox as a player and announcer for decades, said that he has never seen anything like this before. He feels bad for the fans who are enduring this tough time, but he believes that things will eventually turn around.
Harrelson pointed out that the team has already been shut out eight times, a major league record through 22 games. The team’s top two players are injured, and the ace of their pitching staff was traded before the season began.
Despite the team’s struggles, Harrelson said that he believes in the team’s ownership and front office. He knows that they want to win, and he is confident that they will make the necessary changes to turn things around.
Harrelson also had praise for first-year broadcaster John Schriffen, saying that he ‘was very good’ in his handling of the team’s struggles. Harrelson said that Schriffen ‘didn’t try to be a comedian or fool me or the fans. He was telling it like it was.’
Harrelson said that he will continue to watch the White Sox, even though it has been a tough watch so far. He believes that the team will eventually turn things around, and he wants to be there to witness it.
Harrelson, who retired after the 2018 season, said that he is not as physically active as he used to be, but he is still following the team closely. He said that he is confident that the team will turn things around, and he is looking forward to seeing them succeed.
