Harry Kalas Phorever...

Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today. Harry collapsed while preparing to call today's game against the Washington Nationals. So many phans will feel as though we've lost a member of our own families. I feel as though I've lost a part of myself, but Harry enhanced my love of the great sport we call baseball and I will always carry that love, and Harry, in my heart.

I've stated on this page before that I consider Harry more of a Phillie than anyone who wears the uniform as an active member of the roster. Harry Kalas was a Phillie. Moreso, Harry Kalas was the Phillies.

Please share your thoughts and memories of Harry in the comments section, or send them to PhoulBallz (at) verizon (dot) net.

Wow....that came out of left field. Such a shock. Seemed fine just last week. At least he got to call the series win. He will be missed. Baseball in Philadelphia will never be the same.

That man made Phillies baseball what it was. He was the MVP every year in my book, and it will be a long time before I can enjoy the game as much as I used to when he was calling it. Because of Harry, we'll always have "High Hopes".
