Ernie harwell story to music

Longtime umpire Joe West paid tribute to legendary broadcaster Ernie Harwell in the most heartfelt way he knows how: The “Cowboy” wrote Ernie a song.

West, known as Cowboy Joe for his love of country music and the fact that he’s released several albums, co-wrote “A Tribute to Ernie Harwell” with Bill Slayback and Fred Rodgers and sang the song, which tracks the life and times of Harwell, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 92, while tracing his own upbringing in North Carolina with parents who fell in love with baseball through Harwell’s broadcasts.

“When the Dodgers were in Brooklyn and the little boys dreamed,” West sings, “Ernie Harwell told their story long before the TV screens. Mom and Dad watched the radio as if they could see a ballpark in their minds where the grass was always green.”

Ernie Harwell died Tuesday night, ending his battle with cancer at the age of 92, but his voice and spirit will live on forever in the ears

The Canadians would out shoot the Rangers in the second 11-7 but more important they put home four of those shots on goal. After the third goal scored on the Rangers in the second Lundqvist would be relived by rookie goalie Matt

Montreal Canadiens Surprise The Washington Capitals

As Alex Ovechkin found a way to shoot the puck right past Canadiens goalie Jaroslav Halak at the beginning of the third period, the crowd roared in amazement and there seemed to be more hope in the loyal Caps fans’ eyes that Washington would take down Montreal.

Unfortunately for Washington, one of the officials discovered that Ovechkin’s linemate Mike Knuble was inside the goal crease despite the replay suggesting differently. There was no goal and the Washington Capitals fell bitterly to the Montreal Canadiens with a 2-1 loss, ending their season in the play-offs.

It was surprising to see Montreal pull this off after experiencing a three-games-to-one deficit against highly skilled Capitals, who were standing with the NHL’s best record of regular season.

The top three NHL teams within the Eastern Conference have no been eliminated and Montreal will move on to their second round on Friday against the defending Stanley Cup Champions,

The Washington Redskins invited former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook to camp this week for a visit. If Daniel Snyder signs any more past-their-prime veterans he’ll be able to approach AARP about naming-rights sponsorship to the team’s D.C. stadium . . .

What’s the reward for the winner of the Boston Bruins-Philadelphia Flyers series? A showdown against the sizzling Montreal Canadiens. First, the Habs shocked the NHL by eliminating the top-seeded Washington Capitals. Last night, they sent Penguins fans home in disbelief, eliminating the defending Stanley Cup champions in seven games . . .

I don’t understand how Manny Pacquiao can serve as a congressman while continuing to box. Is he going to “Tweet” his legislative votes from training camp? Honestly, I think he is doing a disservice to his constituents by continuing to box. How can he stay abreast of the nation’s issues while preparing for major bouts that will absorb all of his

READ THIS PLEASE! Kay, so. I only did my favorite players… well, I love everyone on the team, but I was just too tired to do everyone, and I am just too impaitent. Sorry if I didn’t do one of your favorites =( The video does not goin order Jordan Staal – Bedrock – Young Money I did this, because Jordan is one of the cutest players on the team, and I just think that song suits him nicely.

Evgeni Malkin – Riot – Three Days Grace Kay Geno is a stand up guy. He gets the team going and he wont take sh!t from anybody. This song fits. Sidney Crosby – Perfect – Hedley Some of you may not like this one. But I think it fits Sid PERFECTly.

This Week in Betting, a to Z

A – All-Star. It’s the NHL All-Star Game in Dallas this week. No one watches hockey when it is full of hits, fights and all the fun body contact, so why in the world would people watch it when the players aren’t touching each other?

B – Bush, Reggie. The 88-yard run was as impressive as you expect from this super freak. He sure made it clear that he isn’t yet a mature man, though, didn’t he? Do you think that that front flip into the end zone pissed the Chicago defense off, or was it just a coincidence that those were the last points New Orleans scored?

C – Crosby, Sidney. I know I dwell on this guy, but the Pittsburgh forward will get more attention than anyone else at the NHL All-Star Game. Remember, he’s only 19 years old, so he’s only going to get better than he is, and he’s amazing already. If you haven’t seen him play, do yourself a favor and catch a Penguins game.
