Ernie Harwell the Role Model
Friday, May 7th, 2010Though a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan I wish I was a fan at the MN Twins game the other night.
Ernie Harwell, Hall of Fame baseball broadcaster died Tuesday night, “quietly, at home, with his wife and children by his side, and when the news was announced in Minnesota, where the Tigers — Ernie’s team — were playing, fans there gave him a standing ovation. In Minnesota!” A tribute to a man who worked for the opposing team for several decades.
What would prompt such an outpouring of love?
