Sorry to hear George Kell died a few days ago.
Kell was a Hall of Fame third baseman for the Detroit Tigers in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
He won the American League batting championship in 1949, beating out a guy named Ted Williams.
But I remember Kell not as a player, but as the voice of Tiger TV broadcasts back in the 70's and 80s.
Something about Kell made watching Tiger games a little more fun; naybe it was it laid back attitude, or his Arkansas accent or his intimiate knowledge of the game.
Just wish there were more broadcasters like him today.
