In Memorian: Harry Kalas

Longtime "Voice of the Philadelphia Phillies" Harry Kalas died suddenly this afternoon. One of the great sports broadcasters of the past 35 years.

For years he teamed with the late Whitey Ashburn (right) to make Phillies games a joy to listen to. His distinctive voice gave football added class on NFL Films and Westwood One.

My best memory is still that oft-heard call:

It's outta here. Home run. Michael Jack Schmidt.
