Talk:Ken Harrelson

message: It is worth mentioning in this article if properly sourced that Harrelson is highly dismissive of the use of performance analytics as a baseball management tool.  This part of his narrative fits thematically with the fact that Harrelson was at one time equally dismissive of Tony LaRussa, the legendary manager, and the notion expressed by others on this talk page that Harrelson is an opinionated blowhard who speaks with little or no substantiation.  If anyone can find a relevant source, please link it here, and I will do likewise. Jrgilb (talk) 03:55, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I edited this a little bit to make it a little less POV, cutting out the harshest statements, even though Harrelson really doesn't deserve it.  If somebody who doesn't believe this man isn't a huge disgrace to baseball wants to further edit it, by all means, go ahead.

I always thought that the term "carmines" was used by several announcers, not just the Hawk.  Can anyone confirm this? 
Either way, I'm removing "The Tribe".  The Indians refer to themselves as this when they're being announced. Teemu08 17:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Editorializing and gratuitous fact tags

message: I am not sure who wrote that paragraph, but it was full of run on sentences. Removed the part regarding Harrelson "referring to the Twins as "Twinkies" and stating "The Sacks are packed with Twinkies". The Twins refer to themselves as such and its not really a "catchphrase" of his. I just did a quick run through of the paragraph, not suggesting its complete. This article needs work. Some of the sections need to be broken down into smaller ones. -- 815sox (talk) 05:47, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Reworked "Hawkism" Section

message: "While he was still in high school, Harrelson met his first wife, Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Pacifici, whom he would marry that year."  Most US folks go to high school for four years -- did he finish it up in one? 2602:304:CEC7:9230:4457:C89A:C623:66D3 (talk) 06:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: He graduated, they dated his last year of school.  He went to a military school and she went to the all girls “sister” school.  He was a “sports star” and she was a cheerleader. Betty Ann and Ken married on 12/27/1959. According to his biography, she was dating someone else from his school, they had just had a typical high school fight/breakup and Ken stole her away at a party they were all at together. 2600:8801:4422:A500:878:D8AE:729B:20B2 (talk) 20:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

message: (Azcue and Siebert were 2 of the players going from Cleveland to Boston in this trade.)
From sabr.org :  "Azcue and Siebert had already said they would not go back to Cleveland, and the other three players involved in the transaction were caught in limbo — freshly dressed in their new uniforms but not eligible to play. "
There were complaints from some of the players who were in this trade. Carlm0404 (talk) 18:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
