Harry Kalas 1936-2009

The Phillies won today thanks to a Ryan Howard three-run homer in the 7th. However, that was the secondary story of course. Phillies longtime play-by-play man Harry Kalas died today before the game in Washington.

I never met Harry Kalas personally. However, like a lot of people in this area, Harry served as the soundtrack to my summer for years. So, today's news comes as quite a blow. In my 26 years, I listened to Harry call countless games on the radio and TV. It’s hard to imagine a Phillies game without Harry’s presence.

I can’t really say any more than what has already been said and what will be said over the next couple days. So, thanks to Youtube, I’ll post some of my personal favorite Harry moments.
