Ernie Harwell - Detroit Tigers
 

For all of you Detroit Tigers fans - just heard that Ernie Harwell passed away after a long illness. He will be missed.

Great announcer -- Better Man

Ernie's voice made you know that spring was here when you would turn on the radio and hear him announcing the game. He will be missed.

Both George Kell and Ernie Harwell were two great voices for the Detroit Tigers. They will both be missed. What a surprise when I moved to Ark and found out that George Kell had moved to Newport Ark where he grew up after he retired. Ernie was a great guy and prayers for his family at this time.

"All Things Considered" had a story on Ernie Harwell today. Here's the link.
