ERNIE HARWELL WAS THE GREATEST!

LAST SUMMER, I HAD THE HONOR OF BEING INDUCTED INTO THE MICHIGAN BROADCASTERS HALL OF FAME.  THAT HONOR WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME WHEN I LOOKED DOWN THE LIST OF PAST RECIPIENTS AND SAW THE NAME OF ERNIE HARWELL.  

MANY TIMES I TALKED TO ERNIE ON THE TELEPHONE WHEN HE WOULD CALL AND RECORD SPOTS FOR OUR LOCAL SPONSORS BEFORE THE GAME BROADCASTS. OUR CONVERSATIONS WOULD ALWAYS END WHEN ERNIE WOULD INVITE ME UP TO THE BOOTH WHEN I CAME TO A TIGER GAME.  

THAT WAS ERNIE HARWELL.
