More On Ernie Harwell


What an incredible man?
What a moving sight in tribute on TV tonight, a replay of his farewell to his beloved "Tigah" fans last September. Knowing he was dying of cancer he approached the microphone with look of boyish wonder on his face as he took in the thousands of fans in the stands cheering for him -- the sight of a humble man humbled. He never lost his composure. In his last appearance in Tiger Land, he looked healthy, joyful, and so consistent with everything we always remembered him for.
