Said quietly and almost impossibly slowly: "Hello Tagger fans. This is George Kell along with Al Kaline bringing you today's game between the DEEtroit Taggers and the Kansas City Royals."
We've been blessed with some wonderful announcers in the Motor City, and George Kell is near the top of that list.
My favorite, "But the damage is done!". To me he will always be the voice of summer. To this day, when I hear his voice, I can still smell the freshly cut grass....
I'll miss our "Mister Baseball"...GEORGE KELL! He will be sadly missed. Mr.Kell got me interested in baseball in the early 60's & who could ever forget his home game openings.."HELLO,AGAIN EVERYBODY FROM TIGER STADIUM. THIS IS GEORGE KELL ALONG WITH (LARRY OSTERMAN or AL KALINE) GIVING YOU PLAY BY PLAY FROM THE CORNER OF MICHIGAN & TRUMBULL!"
Wonderful tribute to Mr. Kell. Obviously done with much affection and respect. George will always be with us in Detroit and with all who knew him. Thanks for the tribute.

He had his best years with Boston. He was on the downslide when the Tigers got him.
