Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles - Sept 29 1963 Ernie Harwell George Kell Full Game Broadcast
Here's a rare full game broadcast of legendary Detroit Tigers play-by-play men Ernie Harwell and George Kell, teamed together to bring fans the last game of the 1963 season. This was Kell's last game as a radio play-by-play announcer for the Tigers. George took a year off from the mic and then returned in 1965 for about 30 years as the lead guy from the Tigers' TV booth. Ernie went on from here to give Tigers' fans 30+ more years of folksy and professional radio play-by-play work that earned him a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. What these two fine gentlemen taught a couple of generations of Tigers fans not only about baseball but also about how to talk to people long will be appreciated.
Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers Sept 29 1991 Ernie Harwell Paul Carey Full Game Broadcast
In a still-galling act of arrogance and heartlessness, the Detroit Tigers and radio station WJR dismissed Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell prior to the 1991 baseball season, but allowed Harwell to call the games in a final, "swan song" season. His partner since 1973, Paul Carey, decided to retire at the end of the '91 season. Although Harwell came back to do Tigers games again beginning in 1993, the 1991 season marked the end of Detroit's golden era of baseball radio broadcasting. This broadcast was the last at Tiger Stadium for Carey. Harwell deploys most if not all of his well-known and folksy tag phrases. Although the game itself was already beginning to morph into the muscle-bound and homer-happy brand that continues to this day, Harwell's and Carey's unfailing style of subtlety and understatement is as relaxing as a cool drink in a porch swing on a summer's day.
