The Hall of Fame \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Voice of the Detroit Tigers,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ernie Harwell<\/strong>, will receives the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting<\/strong> from Fordham University\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s WFUV Radio (90.7 FM\/wfuv.org) this Wednesday night, May 5, at Gotham Hall in New York City.

“The players absolutely love him,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Kaline. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When he was broadcasting and would come into the locker room before the game, the guys wouldn’t head to the training room. They were hoping that he was coming to talk to them!\u00c2\u00a0 Ernie was especially helpful to other aspiring broadcasters, whether in college or high school or just starting out. He was kind of like a ‘big brother’ to everyone.”<\/div>\n
Scully, who began his career as a Red Barber<\/strong> prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 in 1950 in the Brooklyn Dodgers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 broadcast booth one year out of Fordham, is now in his 60th year calling Dodgers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 games. Harwell is the third recipient of the Scully Lifetime Achievement Award, with its namesake receiving the inaugural award in 2008, and Dick Enberg<\/strong> accepting last year. This year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s honorees also include CBS News\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Chief Washington Correspondent and Face the Nation anchor Bob Schieffer<\/strong>, who receives the Charles Osgood Lifetime Achievement Award, and music legend Levon Helm<\/strong>, who accepts the WFUV Sound and Vision Award.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
