The Tigers have the day off tonight, so I thought I’d touch on Ernie Harwell for a moment. For those of you who unfamiliar with the Tigers, Ernie Harwell is the Tiger’s former Hall of broadcaster. If you ever want to read a great baseball book, his biography is excellent and well worth reading. My wife was nice enough to get me an autographed copy shortly after it came out.

And as a special treat, Ernie Harwell will be on ESPN’s 7 pm telecast this Wednesday as part of their Broadcasting Living Legends series. So we’ll get to see and hear Ernie call part of the Rangers/Yankees game.

As much as I enjoy listening to current Tiger’s radio announcers Dan Dickerson and Jim Price, I do miss Ernie. In my mind, nobody could call a ball game better, and I’m looking forward to listening to him one more time.
