Longtime Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell inspires ArtPrize painting
GRAND RAPIDS -- Jerry Douglas never has been a big baseball fan.
Lucky for him, Ernie Harwell transcended sports.
Douglas, an artist from Boyne City, has ventured to ArtPrize 2010 with his oil painting "Voice from the Shadows," a 7-foot image depicting Harwell, the late longtime Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster, looking down from his announcer's booth over the players and fans in old Tiger Stadium.
The painting is on display at God's Kitchen, 303 S. Division Ave. LINK

Fans vote Tigers' Brandon Inge onto All-Star team
DETROIT -- Brandon Inge is the people's choice.
The Detroit Tigers third baseman edged Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler in fan voting for the 33rd and final spot on the American League All-Star team. More than 68 million votes were cast nationwide over four days, and results were released Thursday afternoon.
"It's one of the highest honors," Inge, 32, said of his first All-Star selection. "Personally, this is the highest honor. I've been thinking about this since I was a little kid." LINK
