He is a Hall of Fame broadcaster, and a Hall of Fame friend.

It's easy, inexpensive, everyone can do it and it will lead to better things.

I'm not an expert. I just want people to stay healthy, keep in shape and live the best life they can.

[For more than three decades, Ernie Harwell was the voice of the Detroit Tigers. His Georgia voice was as sweet as a mint julep, and he rode it into baseball's Hall of Fame in 1981. Now 87 and retired from broadcasting, Harwell told The Denver Post's Anthony Cotton recently that the hardest thing he does these days] is lift my feet up when my wife runs the vacuum cleaner. ... I'm a spokesman for Blue Cross and Blue Shield. We signed a 10-year contract with a 10-year option, so I have to live to be 106. And I'm going to do it or die trying.

I always played it down the middle myself. I had my own rule. If anything affects the game, if it would be in the paper or people were going to talk about it, I had to mention it. If a player missed the cutoff man or threw to the wrong base, you have to report it. If he made three errors, it's a matter of fact. Nobody that I ever worked for — a ballclub or sponsor — told me to do this or do that. I never had to contend with that. I feel sorry for the guys who get in that situation. It's not their fault.

I get out there once in a while. I don't want to be the old guy who sits in the corner, and everyone wonders what he's doing there.

If you heard Harry Caray, he was best. If you heard Vin Scully, he was the best. If you heard Jack Buck, he was the best. That's the way it went. When I started, you were the only game in town, whether the listener liked it or not. They had to listen. Good or bad, you had to be in their ear.

It's a great idea. Now, there's really a way to compare these guys. I enjoy the versatility of the different announcers.

It's a lot harder for one guy to make a reputation for himself in radio than it used to be because the listener has so many options.

Radio is such a great medium. It makes you use one of the most important things God gave you — imagination. The listener can picture what the announcer is telling you.

Radio will always be with us because of its great portability. TV can't give you that.

My bosses said, 'He's a mean, old man. He's not going to talk to a kid like you who's just starting out,' ... But he was very warm, very hospitable. I sat in the living room with him and we talked for about 15 minutes on the air. He filled the whole program, then we sat around and talked a lot more.

McDonough said, referring to the Hall-of-Fame announcer who spent more than four decades as the voice of the Detroit Tigers. ''I thought I'd be with the Red Sox all my career. Really, it's the only play-by-play job I ever wanted.

Tom told me this wonderful story about how Ernie and his wife invited Tom and his wife over in Florida one time for a dish of ice cream. Who in this day invites you over for a dish of ice cream. Just wonderful.
