Right behind Vin Scully and Red Barber in the all time list of great announcers is Ernie Harwell!

A fantastic voice! This lifelong Red Sox fan loves Ernie Harwell and his gift for bringing the game to life over the radio.

I use to listen to the greats on AM airwaves on clear spring/summer nights from hundreds of miles away. The nights I found Jack Buck in St. Louis or Ernie it Detroit were the really fun nights! My Dad and I would sit there and listen to a few innings. Great memories of childhood and my teen years. They don't make 'em like the great Ernie Harwell anymore.

I interview Mr. Harwell when I was an intern at a radio station,2 years ago. It was aan honor!

I'm a diehard Yankees fan. I have known of Ernie Harwell for many years. He is in my mind the greatest broadcaster I have ever heard. Tigers fans were blessed to have this guy as your radio broadcaster for the better part of 4 decades. I remember pulling in 760 out of Detroit and having to fight with 770 here in New York to listen to Ernie Harwell. What a treat it was to listen to this man.

An icon of my youth...a great announcer & a great individual. They don't make them like this any more, unfortunately.

i love ernie, it'll be a sad day when he passes away. go tigers!

Omg I met him in lansing, our band played and he was there, I got his autograph, and i asked him if he would say something with meaning, and he said "that one was long gone!" awesome.
