I just wanted to share this piece of news about long-time Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster, Ernie Harwell. Unfortunately, Harwell has been diagnosed with an incurable cancer. Harwell is one of baseball's great voices and I highly recommend listening to one of his old broadcasts if you get the chance.
The Detroit Free Press store sells a few of Harwell's books as well as an audio scrapbook. I'm continually enthralled by some of the stories that Harwell tells on the 4-CD audio scrapbook, like getting Babe Ruth to autograph his shoe and his interview with Ty Cobb.
Read this article and some of the comments. I especially like what one commenter had to say:
If you open the dictionary to the definition of........
Compassionate
Thoughtful
Inspiring
God fearing
Mentor
Student
Leader
Loving
Moral
Giving
Baseball.........and countless others. You will find a picture of Ernie Harwell.
