(Detroit, MI)  --  Detroit Mayor Dave Bing has declared today "Ernie Harwell Day" in the Motor City in honor of the former Detroit Tigers broadcaster.  Today is the first day of summer, and Bing noted "Harwell's distinctive voice not only announced baseball games, but also signified the beginning of summer."  Harwell died last month after a battle with cancer at the age of 92.
