Harry Kalas, the long time announcer of the Philadelphia Phillies, died in the broadcast booth before today's Phil's Nat's game in Washington. For anyone who never heard a Phillies broadcast, you would know him as the guy who did the voice over work for NFL Films.
CSNPhilly.com - Remembering Harry Kalas
I actually cried a few different times today for a guy I never met. Even though I never met him I do have one great memory of him from just recently. My sister met him this spring at Clearwater FL. She got him on the phone to talk to my mom and my mom thought it was my sisters boyfriend impersonating him. So my mom called Harry Kalas a jackass. He took it well and actually got a good laugh out of it.
I don't even know what to say other than it's a sad day in baseball.
