Few men could put as much into a few minutes of broadcast as Ernie Harwell. Everything from faith, family values, love of Michigan and baseball in nearly every broadcast.

This last speech had me crying like a baby when I saw it live. His was a voice as familiar as anyone in my family for my whole life.

As an Angels fan, I have always hated the Dodgers (red vs blue you know?)....but I have always been a huge fan of Vin Scully. One of the best broadcasters ever! I miss the days way back when when he called the World Series games for NBC.

Vin Scully is the most overrated sportscaster of all time.

I think Vin was actually better at doing football than baseball....he made the call on “The Catch” in the 1981 NFC Title Game.

If you want poetry with your baseball...

"Poetry"? You are much too kind.
