I'm still laughing...
The Best Quote of the Year Award goes to Chicago White Sox television broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson.
The setting: U.S Cellular Field - south side Chicago
The date: Sunday, August 26th, 2007
The players: Red Sox @ White Sox (final game of a 4 game series)
The context: Following three straight shellackings of the South Siders by our beloved Red Sox (combined score of 35-6), the television broadcasters were obviously hoping for better results with Javier Vasquez on the mound. Early in the fifth inning the White Sox had a chance to turn a double play to end the inning with no runs scoring and keeping the game tied at 1. Doh! No DP and then comes a full count on the next batter... unfortunately for the White Sox, rookie Dustin Pedroia had now just hit a predictable pitch in a predictable location for a go-ahead 2-run single in the 5th inning. Mere moments after this, David "Big Papi" Ortiz demolishes a waist-high fastball to the opposite field for a 2-run dinger and a 4-run lead.
The quote: "Well, the first thing that comes to mind is, dad-gum-it."
P.S. Final score: Boston 11 Dad-Gum-Its 1
