Jason Benetti, who replaced Ken “Hawk” Harrelson as the TV voice of the Sox on NBC Sports Chicago eight years ago, was signed by the Detroit Tigers to do a minimum of 127 games on Bally Sports. Benetti has gone from a student at Syracuse University to the television broadcast booth calling Chicago White Sox games. Benetti, who has cerebral palsy, is a role model for people with disabilities and figures his broadcasting career can serve as an inspiration.
