White Sox broadcaster Hen Harrelson will throw a ceremonial first pitch on Saturday in conjunction with the Hawk Talking Alarm Clock giveaway at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The upcoming giveaway has generated quite the buzz. The voice alarm features Harrelson’s signature “Mercy,”  “Rack ’em up” and “This ballgame is ova!” Hawkisms.

Check out MLB Network’s bit with Harrleson and Dan Plesac featuring the clock here:
