Yep. Sad day indeed but Ernie said this was just another adventure that God had set for him.

Just heard. Grew up listening to Ernie with the Tigers. The man with the sharp voice that came out of the cheap table radio in stereo, even though it wasn't stereo.

Godspeed to a truly good man.

"Called strike threee, and he stood there, like a house, by the side of the road!"

"And there's a foul ball into the stands, and a man from Gaylord, Michigan caught that one."

"Mom, how does he know who caught that?"

Tears.

From the other thread.

Ernie’s farewell speech at Comerica park last year. An awesome speech by a man whole loved the crowd as much as we loved him.

The Braves announcers noted his passing during the radio broadcast. Don Sutton seemed very sad.

I felt like you when Skip Carrey passed last year.
Sorry for y’alls loss.

Good memories listening to Harwell in ‘84 when I was a kid. “and Morris delivers...”

RIP Ernie.

I think also with the passing of Harwell, we also mourn an icon of back in the day when Detroit was still a great city, instead of the sad shell it has become.
