It’s no secret that legendary White Sox broadcast Ken “Hawk” Harrelson is one of a kind. And that’s why the White Sox decided to honor the Hawk at its fan fest next year.

The White Sox unveiled Monday a commemorative talking bobblehead of Harrelson as an exclusive gift for some fans at SoxFest.

The bobblehead is a throwback tribute to when Harrelson was a cover model for Sports Illustrated on their Sept. 2, 1968, issue. Harrelson wore a powder blue leisure suit with a gold chain, oversized cowboy hat and signature sunglasses.

The Hawk bobblehead will feature some of his most iconic phrases like “He gone!” and “You can put it on the board … yes!”

The only way for fans to secure this talking bobblehead is by booking a two-night SoxFest hotel package. Go to the White Sox’ website for more information on SoxFest.
