harry kalas

Phils announcer harry kalas who does many different sports but mainly has been the Phillies top announcer for over 35 years was found unconscience in Washington NATS Pressbox. He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital. Hopefully he will be ok as this guy is to Phillies baseball what Harry Carey was to the Cubs

Just heard Tirico talking about this on the radio about a half hour ago.

Crazy...in the booth, getting ready to call the game.

He was unreal, listened to him alot when i lived in PA. AWESOME voice on all the old NFL films footage. And it is great looking back seeing his last year in baseball that the Phils win it. He will def be missed and from what everyone whos met the guy out of baseball, was a true gentlemen. RIP Harry
