Ernie Harwell
Sad news today, Ernie Harwell has passed away. As a Tiger fan, have fell asleep on thousands of summer nights to his voice on the radio as a kid. His voice was one of a kind.

This article includes his sign off when Ernie called his last game in 2002, anybody know where I could find a tape of that? they are also doing a special tribute on Fox Sports Detroit tonight at 4:30, 6:00, and 10:00 if anybody has that channel and is interested.
