White Sox's Hawk Harrelson will 'never step foot' at Wrigley Field again

White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, who will retire next year in his 34th and final season as a play-by-play announcer, said on Sunday that he’ll “never go back to Wrigley Field again.”  

White Sox broadcaster Hawk Harrelson doesn't hide his feelings about the Cubs.

“Worst press box, worst booths for television. It’s a joke. It really is,” Harrelson told reporters of the Cubs' legendary Wrigley Field. “I will never step foot in that ballpark again. Ever.”

Harrelson -- who has been working mostly a road broadcasting schedule for the past two years -- announced his 2018 retirement in May, and he is in the process of working out a schedule for the games he will call in his final season. One thing is certain: The Cubs are not in his plans.

“We’ve got three games over at their place (next season), and I told (White Sox chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf)..., ‘I’m not going back to Wrigley Field,'" Harrelson said while the White Sox played a road series at Boston's Fenway Park. He said, ‘Well, you’ve got three games there next year.’ I said, ‘Well, we’re going to get rid of those.’”
