	Ernie Harwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Earnest "Ernie" Harwell (born January 25, 1918 in Washington, Georgia, USA) is a former Major League Baseball play-by-play announcer.
		In 1948, Harwell became the only announcer in baseball history to be traded for a player when the Brooklyn Dodgers' General Manager, Branch Rickey, traded catcher Cliff Dapper to the Crackers in exchange for breaking Harwell's broadcasting contract.
		Harwell was also play-by-play man for the New York Giants in the early 1950s, calling Bobby Thomson's "shot heard 'round the world" in the 1951 National League pennant playoff game on national television, then for the Baltimore Orioles in the late 1950s.
