Friday’s Layup Drill
Learning the news that Ernie Harwell, 91, has an incurable tumor felt like a kick in the head; hearing him talk about how he's accepted his fate almost brought tears to my eyes. "We don't know how long this lasts," Harwell said in a phone interview. "It could be a year, it could be much less than a...
