- Bill Bonds was angry when the Detroit Tigers fired legendary broadcaster Ernie Harwell in 1990, and he went off with a commentary. "I have never seen a worst decision handled so badly, so ineptly, so insensitively. I've never seen such and heard such white-hot anger from so many people," Bonds started the commentary with.

In 2024, I'm still pissed at that decision
I admired Bill Bonds for many reasons, but mainly, Bonds epitomized the grit and toughness , and how Detroiters love their own because we get piled on so much. R. I. P mr Bonds. Much love.
Bonds battles over the years with Coleman A Young were legendary, but his love for Detroit and the little guy is what endeared him with the public. This is just another example of what made Bill Bonds the best anchor in the Detroit market.
Thre will never be another bill bonds...great guy...honest and outspoken...love it
I miss Bill Bonds…
I had the chance to meet Ernie once. Not knowing where he lived I knocked on his door doing a scavenger hunt. He was very generous. This was somewhere in the early ‘60’s. Now of course I’d be arrested or worse. Great play by play man. Miss him
Not many voices are so recognized as Ernies. You KNEW his voice. In our hearts and memories forever.
Good to hear Bill go off.....Ernie is a legend
This commentary epitomizes how Michiganders connect with their sports teams and with the announcers, with who'm we anxiously hang on their every word. I am not capable of being as poetic or precise as Mr. Bonds was on this occasion. He cuts right to the heart of the matter. Go Tigers!
The Orioles never fired Chuck Thompson or Bill O'Donnell
When Bill Bonds good....he was friggen great
To this day I will NOT eat a domino's pizza
Certainly, Tom Monaghan was complicit, but it was WJR executive Jim Long who pushed for the quick, no severance pay removal of Harwell.
I was born in Detroit 1957 Grew up in Farmington hills. Neighborhood was off a 11 mile between orchard lake and Middlebelt. I was there in 1968 when the Tigers beat St.Louis in the Word Series. I was 11 at the time.
Man...Ernie Harwell, Bill Bonds...he mentioned Bob Talbert at the end there. Those guys and JP McCarthy were Detroit, and I don't think anyone else has come close to filling their shoes.
I could hear WJR, growing up in Baltimore. Hearing Ernie was always a pleasure
This was a legendary blunder by the Tigers, WJR and Schembechler and they could have reversed it but instead they just doubled down on their stupidity.
Bonds definitely spoke for me and everyone I knew at the time on this matter.
The first to make 1 million a year He was GREAT miss you Bill
Bill and Ernie are Legends
Bill was the greatest anchor in the country, Should have gone to ABC New York. Wish he would not have had the addiction , loved him. - (Radio news anchor @ WWJ)
He actually did...and hated working there.
@@TheManny717 Becoming a small fish in a big pond will do that.
You can tell he was mad right at the start. Can you find the rest of this broadcast? We'd like to see the other interviews and stories related to it.
I love the passion in Bill Bonds
Bill didn't pull any punches.
Ernie and Bill 2 detroit legends RIP gentlemen
I miss Bill Bonds
Ernie was the best!!!
Nobody was better!!!
Ernie Harwell is a Detroit Tiger legend. That was absolutely shameful.
Bo showed his true colors, and what a small, petty man he truly was compared to the honor & dignity that Ernie represented...
I used to watch ⌚ Bill from London Ontario ...WXYZ ❤😊
Who announced Ernie Harwell's firing? If he was told privately he was not getting a contract for the following year, this gave Ernie the opportunity to announce that he was retiring. This is respectful, although I don't agree with the decision. If someone other than Ernie announced the firing, then this is a terrible way to treat him.
WJR executive Jim Long pushed the quick, no severance pay removal of Harwell.
I'm still upset about this. 😢
Lol...I remember my Dad getting really pissed off at Bo for that one! They brought him back a year later or something?
Bill was The Man!!!! Loved Ernie.. He was so great!!
Bill had the best evening broadcasts, even if it was a rough story it was relaxing to watch.
❤❤❤ "Be exactly who you are" 😊
Man, just listen to Ernie's voice. It IS made for baseball.
Yeah, I remember this outrageous firing because I was absolute shock. I thought the man would die in the booth calling Tigers games.
I like Bo Schembechler, but this was absolute dog fart on his part and Monahan's as well.
Monaghan: Hey now! We were going to kill him, but didn't! Give me some credit!
Bad or good, what an amazing time that was. The anger was so palpable
That ball is LO N G...gone...ernie.harwell...class act.the voice of the tigers
Bill was a drunk but right about Ernie...
Didn't Bill challenge someone too a man to man fist fight on tv?.
@@vernwallen4246 Yes, Mayor Coleman Young.
@@JimmySand9I saw that live in the air. My grandfather and I were cracking up.
