Jackie answered him in all those phases.”The Dodgers stopped in Atlanta for an exhibition the next season on their way back from Spring Training. Roughly fifteen games into the season, Dapper was given a short trial as the Dodgers back-up catcher. When Barber was sidelined by an ulcer, that need became more pressing. Ernie Harwell: Goofy trades not new in baseball BY ERNIE HARWELL • FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER • June 2, 2008. The series was played despite threats from the Ku Klux Klan, and Robinson handled the crowd reaction with the same resolve and grace as always.Harwell called Robinson’s career “the most significant event that’s happened in sports.”Harwell jumped to the New York Giants in 1950, then to the Baltimore Orioles before joining the Tigers in '60. By That same year, the Tigers had a star second baseman in their farm system named Jake Wood. Erie Harwell is the only broadcaster ever to be traded for a player. Dapper went to the Crackers and had a strong year, hitting .280.
He played in eight games in late April and early May, starting four of them. Ernie Harwell in the booth during the Tigers' win over the Kansas City Royals, 8-2, in the final game at Tiger Stadium on Sept. 27, 1999. Both UCLA and USC have reported over 150 positive cases. He was still doing well enough for the Dodgers’ minor league affiliates that the Detroit Tigers tried to pick him up in 1947. Ernie Harwell spent 55 years broadcasting major league baseball, including 42 years as the voice of the Tigers. He was also the first and only general manager to trade a player for a broadcaster.It was the intersection of those two moves that brought Ernie Harwell, long before he became the Hall of Fame voice of the Tigers, and Robinson together in 1948. Sullivan got the majority of the playing time early in the season. In 1960, he joined the Detroit Tigers, where he would call Tiger games for pretty much the next 40 years (not counting his short stint with the Angels in the early 1990s when the Tigers foolishly let him go before bringing him right back).He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981. Houston Mitchell is an assistant sports editor, writer of the In a letter to donors, USC athletic director Mike Bohn said the scheduled opener against UCLA is likely to be moved from Sept. 26 to Oct. 31 or Dec. 12. The Dodgers still had Barber’s partner, Connie Desmond, but they needed another announcer, so Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey went out to find a suitable addition to the Dodgers broadcast team and settled on Harwell. Robinson batted second for the Dodgers that night and walked in the first inning. He debuted in Detroit two years later, and Horton and Harwell developed a close friendship that carried through the years. His last appearance in the booth came in 2007.
5.0 out of 5 stars Baseball History a la Ernie Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2008 This is not an audio book read by Bob Harris as the description states but interviews with Ernie Harwell by Bob Harris with historical tapes mixed in.Harwell talks about games he saw 50 years ago as if it where yesterday.Funny,insightful & sublime. However, Harwell had a contract with the Crackers and Crackers President Earl Mann was not going to let his announcer go without compensation.That compensation turned out to Cliff Dapper. He wasn’t the Tigers’ first African-American player when he made his debut in '61, but he was the first to come up through the Tigers' farm system and find a regular role in Detroit.That summer, the Tigers signed a hometown hitting prodigy named Willie Horton. He then spent four years in the military. Ernie Harwell was a beloved icon in the Detroit sports scene -- and indeed, the entire major league baseball community -- for decades. And it had an impact on Harwell long after he arrived in Detroit.While Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947, Harwell was doing play-by-play radio broadcasts of Minor League games in Atlanta. He became a batboy for the Crackers when he was just five years old (he was the batboy assigned to the visiting team).After Harwell graduated from Emory University he went to work at the Atlanta Constitution as a sportswriter. Owen started 116 of the Dodgers’ final 133 games, including a remarkable stretch where he caught 39 of the last 41 games (Sullivan caught all the other games).The Dodgers ended up winning 104 games and Owen made a second All-Star team while also finishing fourth in the Most Valuable Player voting, so it is hard to argue too much with Durocher’s decision (although the Dodgers ended up in second place to the St. Louis Cardinals’ 106 wins).
After negotiating with Rickey, Atlanta got Cliff Dapper, a backup catcher who had a cup of coffee with the Dodgers in '42 before serving in World War II.Harwell’s first game broadcast for the Dodgers was Aug. 4, 1948.
