It's a very sad day for all of Baseball and Tigers Nation. Ernie Harwell passed away yesterday at his apartment just outside of Detroit. There really isn't much more I can say about him other than he was a great human being and the best baseball announcer ever. Check out Fox Sports Detroit as they remember Ernie throughout the day.
I had the chance to meet Mr. Harwell at meet and greet before a Tigers home game. He would light up the room just by walking in. He was very down to earth and seemed to make everyone very comfortable. He was more than happy to sign autographs for everyone and you could tell he really enjoyed talking and mingling with the Fans.
Rest In Peace Ernie, You will be missed but never forgotten
