Ernie Harwell was the announcer for Tiger Baseball until a few years ago. I listened to him during most of my youth.
I used to believe that Ernie Harwell actually knew the towns that people were from when they'd catch foul balls at Tiger Stadium.
A ball would be hit towards the stand and Ernie would say " There's a loooong fly ball and a young man from Constantine Michigan caught that one."
I was always intrigued as to how he was able to figure it out so quickly.
