Thanks Ernie for being the voice of my youth, the voice of summer. We've lost a great voice and and great man.
Man, i remember all those summers, washing the car in the backyard, listening to the Tiger's game. he had a kind of drawl when he would announce "and that re-tars the side." after the third out. mike
Yes, RIP Ernie. I too grew up listening to the voice of the Tigers and have many fond memories of those muggy summer nights listening to Ernie call the play by play. He was a real gentleman and class act. He will be greatly missed.
"...he kicks and deals...swing and a miss..." Ernie could really paint a great picture without over-doing it.
The best was hearing him call games during the whole drive up north to my grandfather's cottage.
