Chuck Swirsky enjoying his time calling White Sox games

Share

Chuck Swirsky is getting a whiff of new scenery by calling White Sox games while filling in for Hawk Harrelson, who's out due to a procedure.

It's the first time Swirsky, the Bulls radio play-by-play announcer, has called any type of baseball game. Despite the challenge, he's having a blast through the first few games of an 11-game road trip. Swirsky owes his smooth transition to Steve Stone.

"I'd be a fool to not tap into the resources of a man who, not only won a Cy Young award, but he's been in this game from Day 1," he said. ". ...I have the utmost respect for him."

While Swirsky was on the road, Tom Thibodeau had been relieved from his Bulls head coaching duties. Swirsky went on Kap and Haugh on Friday to share his thoughts.
