"For, lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."

This is a biblical quote that long-time, Detroit Tigers radio announcer, Ernie Harwell would say at the start of the first, Spring Training game.  It evokes some pretty good memories for me and makes me think of warmer weather and baseball.  Ernie's health is failing and he doesn't have alot of time left.  He's been a gem of a man and one whose voice was synonomous with baseball in Detroit.

God bless ya, Ernie.



Let the baseball season commence...Play Ball!
