Best Buckeye

Pretending I'm a pleasant person is exhausting.

Ernie Harwell , the longtime voice of the Detroit Tigers turned 90.
Detroit free press.
Ernie Harwell was one of the best baseball announcers ever. He truly is a sports legend. I am not a Tigers fan but I am a fan of people like Mr. Harwell
Happy Birthday Ernie.
Ernie Harwell, ageless voice of the Tigers, turns 90 on Friday

The ageless voice of the Tigers brings the same energy to his life after baseball

Immediately after he awakes Friday on his 90th birthday, Ernie Harwell plans to do a series of exercises.
First, he will do 50 whirling dervishes -- a stretching maneuver in which he fully extends his arms and alternately turns his upper body to the left and right as fast as he can.

Great radio show on Detroit's 97.1 today celebrating Harwell's life. They've been taking calls since the show started at 10:00, one after another, people telling their Ernie story. What an amazing man.

971theticket.com for any out of towners that care, but the Tiger's play at 1:00 so it'll only be on for a little longer.
