Ernie Harwell passed away while I was catching up on Gossip Girl. That is a shame. He hasn’t broadcasted a game for years but that changes nothing - his voice is the sound of everything I (and probably a few million other Michiganders) remember about being young; summertime living, lakes, horseshoes, drives home from the grandparents, getting shushed by my father, bless you boys-ing, crackling AM radio, pop-up campers, and Kirk Gibson.

ahhhhhhh yes. a michigan legend...
I was going to go to the viewing but the radio said two to three hours wait. I loved Ernie (baseball is meant to be listened to on the radio), but if it had been Pete Rose I would have stood in line all night in the rain.
