Bless you Ernie. The voice of my youth has been silenced.

I'm sad this doesn't have any responses yet. I hate the Tiggers, but R.I.P Ernie.

Years and years of covering a mediocre team will do that to you.

One of the greats, amazing baseball voice. I'm blessed as a Mariner fan to have another great voice here in Dave Niehaus.

Back in the days before 24 hour baseball networks, I relied on the radio for my baseball thirsts. Of course, most of the time, I listened to Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall calling the Reds - but on nights they were not playing, I would tune in either the Tigers with Harwell or the Phillies with Kallas. Listening to Ernie was a joy, and I can still hear his voice calling me from my teenage years.

One of the most instantly recognizable voices in the game. He faced the end with dignity and courage.
