This comedy ass guy just said he hit a 530ft homerun when he played at Royals Stadium.

Now he just said it was further then that.

He has lost his flippin mind

He's probably confusing himself with his brother Bud (can't wait to find out if you have any idea what this means )

You should have seen him as a young BoSoc. He was received at the Fen as an heir to the Tony C legacy after the beaning. Have his autograph on the back of my 2nd glove. An AHI infielder's model.

Check out the 1968 season he had...

Third in AL MVP voting that year...

He never played in Royals Stadium. It was old Municipal Stadium when he played for the A's.

Royals ("Kauffman") Stadium was built in 1973 after Hawk had retired.

He's an even better golfer than he was hitter..Still can bomb them 300 yds consistantly. He does talk, but he can walk the walk too

An outlier for his career. Definitely juicing that year!

Does he talk smack on the course? When you miss a putt, "You gone!!"

He used to dress in these bizarre Elton John like outfits while on the Red Sox. He did lead the A.L. in RBI's in 1968, somehow ended up a GM for the White Sox if memory serves. Crazily he was hired by the Ford family by the same guy who would later curse Lions fans with Matt Millen. He was a decent golfer but a power hitter who could drive the ball wasn't exactly news.....
