I was sad to see this story today reporting that Ernie Harwell, longtime Tigers broadcaster, has inoperable cancer. The 91-year-old is a baseball legend, and I feel fortunate to have obtained his signature on this Topps All-Time Favorites card through the TTM process last year. It’s hard to imagine that Mr. Harwell will spend too much time signing for his adoring fans. According to the story, he’ll spend time with his family, and finishing a book.
