1988 Domino's Ernie Harwell

 

Ernie Harwell is an announcing legend, though he only did Tigers games so I didn't heard him announce all that much.

Most of the cards in the set had identical backs, but Domino's baked up a special back for this card.

The last line caught my eye. Apparently Harwell was a collector himself and had an amazing collection. It was donated to the Detroit Public Library after his death, and is available for viewing by appointment.

    He sure had quite the collection of rookie cards. Although I was familiar with his name, I didn't really get to know his legacy until I started reading card blogs.

    Announcers should be regular subjects for inserts...
