If you live in the Detroit area and have followed the Detroit Tigers at all, you grew up listening to Ernie Harwell on the radio.
Some of my best memories are of Ernie describing Al Kaline, Denny Mclain and Willie Horton in the sixties to Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson in the eighties, both teams winning the World Series during their runs. He retired a few years ago but is still active in the community. He has continued to work for many charitable causes around the Detroit area.
He is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and known around the country for his distinctive voice and style.
Unfortunately, last week Ernie disclosed that he is suffering from inoperable cancer.
On Wednesday night the Tigers will honor Ernie at Comerica Park. I can't be at the game but I will be watching on television.
