Happy Thursday bloggers

Hey there bloggers, how is everyone doing?
It's a damp a dreary Thursday afternoon, but the Tigers are on the verge of taking three of four games from the Yankees. That would be as good as sunshine.
Since my last post, we've had to endure the unfortunate passing of Ernie Harwell.
Everyone who listened to the Tigers when Harwell was doing games had that sense that they knew him personally, even though they had never met him in person.
Luckily, I had a chance to meet Harwell back in 1994 when I worked at the Huron Daily Tribune in Bad Axe.
My sports editor and I attended a Michigan Associated Press Sports Writers Convention in Midland. After a round of golf with other Michigan sports writers, we gathered for dinner and a meeting at a hotel. Following the meeting, Harwell spoke to us about the sport he loved the most, baseball.
He talked for about 20 minutes and then hung around, talking individually to anyone who wanted to shake his hand and say, "Hi."
I had an opportunity to talk with Harwell for about 10 minutes and I must say he was the nicest man I've ever talked with. He was truly genuine. How everyone saw him in any news interview he ever conducted, that's how he was with everyone there.
I will cherish the memory of that day with Ernie and God bless his soul in heaven.
Did you ever meet Ernie Harwell? If you did, I'd love to hear you story.
