He was the play-by-play announcer for my beloved Philadelphia Phillies. Anyone interested in hearing just how much he meant to Philadelphians, go here:

I'm 37, "Harry the K" was the Phillies broadcaster for 39 years. Players came and went over so many summers, but Harry Kalas was
constant. Check him out in his moment of glory:

Wish I could find his signature home run call.
"The oh-two pitch...Swing and a looong drive!! Watch this baby! Waaaay outta here! Tremendous home run Chase Utley, and the Phillies now lead the ball game 6 to nothing!!"
Man. The voice of 37 summers gone. He will be missed by all Philadelphians.
