From Page 1
Perhaps the heavy rain, which
looked like fluttering silver
dollars to the stadium lights,
foretold of dreams that would
be drenched into the sewers by
reality.
It was the last hurrah for the
Hawk. Perhaps the most unique
hero ever in sports, drugged by
adulation into improbable
heights on the diamond, the
Hawk remains an unparalleled
personality in baseball. He sold
his meager talents to the pen-
nant-bound Red Sox for
$150,000 and then negotiated
for $100,000 to play for the
Indians. But the Hollywood-
created atmosphere of a card-
board super star in the Indians
clubhouse before the game will
never be forgotten.
The Pinocchio of baseball
has a brilliance for creating
dramatic situations and head-
lines. He conned manager Al-
vin Dark into willingness to use
him as a pinch hitter in late
innings last night, where there
might be drama to his exit. I
dont want to start the game, go
to bat in the first inning before
all the people are settled, he
had told Dark before the game.
Why arent you playing the
whole game? the press asked.
Look, said the Hawk in the
perfect candor which has en-
deared him to teammates and
writers alike. How dramatic is
it for me to play a full game?
To me, a one-shot appearance
has drama, whatever I do. And
all laughed because it was true.
One of the saddest nights in
vaudeville is the old comic who
doesnt know when to get off
the stage. The Hawk will never
be criticized for waiting for the
hook.
Youve got to know when
to quit, said the Hawk, who
was on waivers and was about
to be released by the Indians. I
know my talents. They are me-
diocre. The Boston fans made
me play over my head for one
great year (1968 when he was
voted player of the year). I nev-
er could duplicate that again.
Harrelson then pulled on his
baseball shoes. He said, These
busted my ankle. I never put
them on since then. I going to
get them bronzed and keep
them.
McDowell quipped, Well,
Ken you can keep your glove,
too. And you wont have to
get it bronzed, its been that
way all your life, he said with
a laugh, referring to the
Hawks stiff glove that often
served as a backboard rebound
for ground balls.
Before the game the Hawk
told about his plans to study
golf under Bob Toski out in
Wyoming. He hoped to be
ready for the tour in about a
year although he has to qualify
in the PGA prep tourney. He
turned down an invitation to
play in the current Cleveland
Open and four other tourna-
ments.
I dont want to start until
my game is ready, he ex-
plained. He thought of quitting
baseball for golf when he was
traded to Cleveland three
years ago. It was a great trade
for the Red Sox who got Son-
ny Siebert and Vicente Romo,
whom they traded this year for
catcher Duane Josephson.
Im the most fortunate
player ever to play this game.
I never was that good. If it
werent for the press, I would-
nt have near what I have to-
day, the Hawk admitted.
There was no big farewell
party planned last night for the
Hawk. Heck, as of tonight,
Im unemployed. Tomorrow, I
have to get to the golf course
early and start working on my
game. You had to smile with
him then.
But then the rain that came
an hour later snuffed out all
the laughter. His dramatic fi-
nal ball game exploded with
all the bang of a wet firecrack-
er. The last drama was denied
him.
The reality of quitting hung
heavily.
Thats it. I wanted one
more time at bat and didnt get
it, admitted the Hawk, who
looked like a guy just after
lighting up an unexploding
cigar.
