RIP Harry Kalas

rip harry kallas
I'm not a baseball fan (anymore), let alone a Phillies phan, but I am a sports fan and I know the relationship a city has with their longtime announcer. Harry Kalas was an institution here in Philly. I'm happy he got to see his Phils win one more time last year. The above is a shot of Harry showered with ticker tape during the Phillies championship parade.

Relive the parade here.

    I grew up listening to Harry Kalas. To me, he was the voice of the Phillies. I was happy to see his plaque at Cooperstown, and I'm sad he's gone now.

    I agree that it was great that Harry got to call the World Series and see the city overcome with such joy at the parade. He will be sorely missed.
