The voice of baseball in Detroit, which I frequently heard in my dad’s workshop during summers, has died at 92. This is a sad day for Detroit. 
Exactly my sentiments. Thanks for the memories, Ernie.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
the flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.
RIP Ernie. Your voice was truly the soundtrack of my youth.
Very sad 
A truly classy guy, and an icon of the heyday of a now faded city. But at least he lived a great life, and got to prepare for the end and take care of any business he felt required before he went.
Goodbye Ernie.
He was one of the best. He is also one of my favorite pieces of baseball trivia. The only announcer to be traded for a player. How good do you have to be for that to happen?
One of the local news stations tonight interviewed Sparky Anderson on his friendship with Ernie Harwell. Sparky (who looks ready to die himself) was nearly bawling, in tears. Says a lot about both men.
I have to believe there is no celebrity more universally loved and respected than Ernie.
If anyone wants to bash Detroit - for any reason - my response will be, “Yeah, but we had Ernie Harwell.”
Make that have Ernie. He is still with us.
MMM
He would walk the stands before the games just saying hello to the fans. I bumped into him a couple times. He was friendly and polite to all.
Tough week for baseball, Robin Roberts just pass away at 83.
It seems apropos to quote his farewellafter his last broadcast:
No sir, thank you.
Batters will no longer stand “like a house by the side of the road”.
