Untitled
Ernie Harwell was also the voice used on the excellent computer baseball game,"Baseball For Windows." Produced by APBA it was a legendary game where he was the announcer. www.apbagames.com

Retirement
This article needs to say how and when Harwell retired, etc. Also, any audio samples of him would improve the article. I remember listening to his last call on his last game for the tigers and his brief, unpretentious retirement words over the air. It was a moving moment and a nice little speech. --ChaChaFut 03:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ernie Harwell Pub.jpg
Image:Ernie Harwell Pub.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Responsible for giving Jose Feliciano the chance in 1968 to do the Star Spangled Banner at Tiger Stadium in WS Game 5
It really should be noted that Harwell was responsible for choosing who sang the national anthem during the 1968 World Series games at Tiger Stadium, and the impact that his choice of Jose Feliciano for Game 5 has made on music, opening the door for future reinterpretations and personalizations of the national anthem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.53.163.98 (talk) 05:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't Panic (Just Yet, Anyway) Over Threat To Remove Image
While it is true that a certain someone who is acting like a Class-A Jerk will almost certainly be able to remove the current image (I'll give User:Jappalang this much credit: He's a damned good wiki-lawyer.), I am working on securing from the Detroit Public Library permission to use two images from their Ernie Harwell Sports Collection. I spoke with an archivist the other day, and she told me that it would be a number of days before she would be able to evaluate the various licensing agreements. Meanwhile, I am also endeavoring to contact the Estate of Ernie Harwell.—NBahn (talk) 07:08, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Harwell Field Project
I am not a regular wikipedia editor, but I have drastically edited the 'Harwell Field' section, as it read like a press release. I have left the relevant factual material intact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.9.126.131 (talk) 02:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Link rot flag
I just replaced a rotten link (Al Kaline, 'respectfully disagree') with a working one but wasn't able to make all the warning flags go away. Can someone clean that up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.34.6 (talk) 21:35, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

More sources needed
Reading about his being canned by the Tigers in 1991 and then Illitch making his return a high priority I thought "where are the sources?" I vaguely remembering that Harwell was a legend, and maybe even more vageuly remember something about his leaving, but I have to admit in 1999 I didn't even realize that Illitch now owned both the Tigers and the Red Wings. I missed when Moynihan sold the Tigers. I am sure the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press and probalby other papers covered these issues, and there may be sources that have since added insight, but we need to start citing them in the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:10, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
