RIP George Kell

[etaoin22]

Hall-of-Fame player and then television voice of the Detroit Tigers for decades.

I regret only having had the occasional chance to listen to his TV skills; OTOH WJR in Detroit with Ernie Harwell doing the radio version of the Tigers' games was audible in Eastern Canada and I listened many nights, especially in the great seasons from 1966 to 1968.

He won the AL batting title in 1949 by thousandths of percentage points over Ted Williams.
