The Voice of the Turtle

The polar vortex may be making another swing through the Midwest, snow is still piled up along the fence and across the fields, but rest assured that spring is on the way because today is the first day of spring training baseball games for the Detroit Tigers.

The late Ernie Harwell used to welcome the first game with a quote from the Song of Solomon.

  1. Please keep me posted on the Tigers. We’ve moved into National League territory, perish the thought. We’re now supposed to root for the Reds and the Bengals. I can’t even get Tiger news down here since Fox Sports/Detroit might as well be news from Irish “football” or cricket. I’ve adjusted to our new home but I’m not sure I’ll survive this most dreaded change. Sob.

    • I will post the results with a link to the wrap-up after every game as I have done for years now.

      You can also subscribe to their radio link-up through their website and listen on your computer, but without Ernie — and your audio issues — it wouldn’t be the same as those warm nights on the back porch with WJR crackling through the speaker.
