GUEST,DannyC Obit: Harry Kalas, voice of the Phillies(Apr 2009) (5) RE: Obit: Harry Kalas, voice of the Phillies(Apr 2009) 14 Apr 09


"Whitey" and Harry were the best... Nebraska and Illinois/Iowa... patient cornfield sensibilities -- like the game they loved.

Over the decades - on sultry eves - I'd find myself wondering how my beloved Phightin's were faring. I could sometimes pick up the mellow roll of his voice as I'd motor near the crest of some southern ridge.   Harry's voice was custom made for Amplitude Modulation cutting right thru the static --- just enough to glean an update --- 1210AM.

How many Ks had Super Steve registered?   Did Michael Jack have another dinger? Did Dykstra have another lead-off 14 pitch at-bat to squeeze the pop out of another Met hurler's arm? My God, another late-inning shot by Ryan Howard --- with JRoll and Utley aboard - and Lidge is warming. Sayonara baby...

Seems like Harry the K more-or-less chose went out outahere... Safe Home.
