Hundreds of fans lined up overnight to view an open casket bearing Harwell — wearing his signature fedora — that was positioned behind metal barriers just inside the stadium's front gate.
The casket was placed near a life-sized statue of the Hall of Fame broadcaster, microphone in hand, with the inscription, "The Tigers' broadcasting legend and masterful storyteller for 42 seasons." Several large portraits and memorial bouquets also were set in place.
Harwell died Tuesday of cancer at age 92.
