I don't know how many baseball fans there are in our class, but if anyone watched tonight's Tigers game you would know that tonight was a game dedicated to Ernie Harwell. Ernie was the broadcaster and so-called "voice" of the Detroit Tigers from 1960 to 2002. He is a Hall of Fame announcer and rightfully so. During his announcing years he helped to introduce and make the baseball games exciting for a lot of people. The signs being held by the crowd made the love of the fans known. There were countless displays of "WE LOVE YOU ERNIE!" displayed in the stands. During the 3rd inning he made an emotional speech thanking all of the fans for their support and for letting him be a part of the Tigers association for so many years. Ernie was recently diagnosed with untreatable cancer at 91 years of age. He is an amazing guy and I wish that I would have been able to listen to him more the the few years before he retired. God Bless the voice of the Detroit Tigers, Ernie Harwell.
PS- It's about time the Tigers beat the Royals.
