Youtube Tribute to Harry Kalas

Wow. What a terrible couple of days for the baseball family.

ESPN.com:
Longtime Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, who punctuated innumerable home runs with his "Outta here!" call, died Monday after being found passed out in the broadcast booth before a game against the Washington Nationals. He was 73.

"We lost our voice today," team president David Montgomery said, his voice cracking. "He has loved our game and made just a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization."


What a terrible day for baseball and the city of Philadelphia. Kalas was such a legendary figure that I thought it was only fitting for us to remember some of Kalas's best moments.

Without further ado:











RIP Harry. Your voice and impact will live on forever.

Ahhh yes. While Kalas made his mark in Philly, his role with NFL flims was truly classic. I loved hearing his voice on Inside the NFL...what a legend
