It may sound silly to some, but the great Ernie perfectly describes my vision of the kind of baseball world that I try to create with Pure Sim. Meet me in the land of hopes and dreams.
(Edited to correct my mistaken notion that he had passed [:o])

Unless I have missed some greatly underreported news... Ernie Harwell is alive and well. He called game one of the '06 W.S. for Tiger's Radio.

My apologies -- you're right. Well, I'm certainly thankful for that. So many of the great "baseball voices" are now gone. Mel Allen, Red Barber, Bob Prince etc.

I didn't know that the Tigers played the Cubs in '06 [:D]

KG- don't worry about Ernie. Yesterday I saw Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) walking down the street. I said to myself it can't be him. He's dead. Sure enough I find out later he is alive and well. And let me tell you he still looks like he can kick anyones ass.

Thanks. Great story. Yeah, I gotta say that I really felt foolish about making that assumption.
