Ernie Harwell

Proof that sports is such an integral part of late childhood/early adulthood is the outpour of respect at the news of Ernie Harwell's passing.
Whether it was listening on the kitchen radio while doing homework, on the incredibly garish white-and-teal AM radio in my room, or even the scratchy transistor with earpiece that I could sneak into bed to listen to those late-night west coast games, listening to the Tigers was one of those things you could count on through the years.
