As a result, our children don't appreciate the game as much as we do. Ernie added something to the sport. We miss him.

There was just something special about being in the woods listening to the Tigers as painted by Mr Harwell. I think my son started to get his love of baseball and the Tigers from that. <br>Another special time -- My wife's Dad had died a few years ago. We now live in the south, we flew up for the services and my wife was going to stay a while longer. I was driving from Iron River to Chicago to fly back to South Carolina. I turned on the radio and got WJR and the first spring game. The next thing I heard was Mr Harwell and the "turtle" even though it was a very sad time in our lives I knew then at some point everything would be all right.

This is a great interview-- you asked good questions, and really let Ernie's voice come through. Hard to do over a blog, and I commend you for it. Billfer, I bow in awe.

I too enjoyed that southern baratone. Whether by the campfire, on the beach at the cottage, late from the west coast as I nodded off to sleep, or alone in the car, Ernie was there. Never bigger than the game Ernie was the one you could count on. He continues to support the game he loves. Baseball has never had a better ambassador. We love you Ernie! A great interview.
