Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell dies
Longtime Detroit Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell, beloved by generations of fans who grew up listening to his rich voice, Southern cadence and quirky phrases on the radio, has died Tuesday after a months-long battle with cancer.
Kevin Hickey, who lived out a major league storybook dream of pitching for his hometown Chicago White Sox and later served as their batting practice pitcher, died Wednesday morning, team sources said.
