GEORGE KELL ERNIE HARWELL

George Kell was hired by the Detroit Tigers in 1959, pairing the new play-by-play announcer with WKMH’s sports veteran Van Patrick. Van Patrick was replaced by Ernie Harwell in 1960, having teamed up with George Kell in the Detroit Tigers broadcasting booth from 1960 through 1963.

This 9/29/1963 game was George Kell’s last broadcast for the Detroit Tigers, after having announced earlier in the year of his impending retirement immediately after the 1963 baseball season.
