Customer Reviews

Excellent

Although some of the stories have been written before and many heard on Ernie's broadcasts, it an absolute must for any Detroit Tiger fan from the 1960's to early 1990's (like me)!

Ernie Harwell is a treasure

Ernie Harwell is treasured by all Detroit Tigers baseball fans. For many of us, it is his voice we associate with listening to ballgames on summer evenings. Well, Mr. Harwell was also a writer. During the 1990s he wrote a short column for the Free Press over the years. The columns are only a few hundred words each, but they are keen observations of the team and the sport. While the columns come from the 90s, he makes observations and tells stories from many decades. They are quite interesting, well written, and easy to read. They sound like the kind of thing he would say through the mike if he had a few minutes to fill with his thoughts.Some of these columns have been used elsewhere, but this is still a volume worth having if you are a Harwell fan and fan of the Tigers. The longer you have followed the Tigers the more his stories will mean as they bring back memories of players and games. I am glad to have it on my shelf.
