what? Hawk wasn't already retired? 
Can't blame the aging for wanting to retire. Hawk has contributed quite a bit to the game and it's time if he is ready to do more fishing and be with family than even to have a half-season or so commitment.. I will remember him in recent times for sticking out in my mind as an oddball. I know many long-time announcers get to set their schedules and many choose to work home games and work none or select few road games. I find it odd Hawk elected to work road games and not home games. I suppose he likes to be a world traveler to want to do the roadies.
