Morris, Trammell grateful to enter HOF together
Morris on being inducted COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Alan Trammell was sitting on the dais at Doubleday Field on Saturday, listening to Bob Costas give his Ford C. Frick Award acceptance speech. At one point, Costas made mention of the great radio broadcasters he listened to as a kid, including a fella named Ernie Harwell on WJR.
Just then, a roar went up in the crowd. At first, Trammell couldn't believe his ears, because it didn't really occur to him that so many Tigers fans would be in attendance.
But when reflecting on the experience later that night, clarity arrived.
"I really shouldn't have been surprised," Trammell said. "Tigers fans have always been that way."
