I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan. For most of my life that meant listening to Tigers games on the radio brought to vivid "theater of the mind" life by the great Ernie Harwell, the voice of baseball.On Saturday evening my wife and I had the pleasure to see a preview of Mitch Albom's new play entitled, "Ernie" about the life and times of broadcaster Ernie Harwell. Not theater of the mind. Just great theater. This two man show made me laugh, made me cry, and made me feel like a kid again. I encourage any Tigers fan, any baseball fan, any human being to get down to the intimate City Theatre on Woodward behind the Hockeytown Cafe for a wonderful show. Make it Tuesdays with Morrie. And then Friday night with Ernie.
