Chicago White Sox by Egantx7

Question 9

This guy once spent three nights recovering in the hospital after nearly choking a reporter and getting KO'ed by Mike Veeck (to be fair, he had called Veeck's mother a "colossal bore", and no one calls Mike Veeck;s mom a name). He once publicly referred to the wives of player as "horny broads", but wasn't fired until 1983, paving the way for Hawk Harrelson to be hired as the color commentator for the Sox. Name this former Harry Caray broadcast partner, an outstanding defensive centerfielder, who may be best known for his battles with mental illness.
