No. 5: Ernie Harwell


Ernie Harwell is one of the most popular voices in baseball. For 55 years, Harwell was the play-by-play announcer of the Dodgers, Giants, Tigers, Orioles, and Angels. In 1948, he became the only broadcaster in baseball history to ever be traded for a player, when he was acquired by the Brooklyn Dodgers from the Crackers. Harwell passed away in 2010, at age 92, but he will forever be remembered as the Voice of the Tigers, thanks to the 42 years spent with the team.
