Happy 92nd Birthday to Ernie Harwell!

I post today's picture, which was taken at TigerFest this past Saturday, in honor of Ernie Harwell's 92nd Birthday! I wish him the best this day and always. I remember meeting Mr. Harwell at Opening Day in 2007 and 2008, when he was posing for pictures with Fans. Ernie Harwell was the Tigers' broadcaster from 1960-2002. This statue was placed at Comerica Park shortly before his retirement in September of 2002. The left side there tells about his broadcasting stops through the years. The only year he wasn't with the Tigers between 1960-2002 was in 1991, when he was fired. I read somewhere that people were so outraged by the move that they wanted to boycott the Tigers . Mr. Ilitch, the current owner of the Tigers, re-hired him shortly after he assumed ownership of the team. More later or tomorrow.
