    Voice of the Phillies - silenced forever

    Harry Kalas - the legendary voice of the Phillies - is now silent. He was found unconscious in the broadcast booth before the start of this afternoon's game in Washington, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

    Godspeed Harry. You will be missed. You're now "outta' here".

    I received an e-mail from my brother today about the death of Harry Kalas. My brother covered many of the Philadelphia sporting events (he works on the technical aspect of broadcasting). He said that Harry was one of the finest men in sports that he had ever met. RIP Harry. We are glad you got to see the Phillies win it in 2008.

    How ironic Harry died, like his buddy and fellow announcer, Richie Ashburn, away from a home game and right before he was due to go on the air. I'm glad he got to see 2 World Series Championships. I grew up hearing Harry's gorgeous voice. I always considered him a "Phillie" and a part of Philadelphia legend. RIP, Harry. Your voice may be silenced but you'll be in our hearts forever.
