The late Don Drysdale and White Sox broadcasting legend Ken “Hawk” Harrelson provided the call of the game. NOTE: NBC Sports Chicago will re-air this game on Friday, Sept. 11 at 2:00 PM.
Seaver spent three seasons in a White Sox uniform (1984-86) and enjoyed his best season on the southside in 1985 posting a 16-11 record with a 3.17 ERA.
