R.I.P. Harry Kalas

Thank you for all of those GREAT memories. You will NEVER be forgotten.

Just got a text too. A great voice. An iconic sound. Very sad...

will always remember "outta here" and "STRUCK HIM OUT"

big loss for the City of Philadelphia

RIP

My two fondest memories of him are his call of last years WS win and his memorable call of a grand slam by Mickey Morandini in the 90's.

My phone hasn't stopped ringing since the news broke. Youtube and some cold ones tonight. His voice/calls were second to none.

definately a voice you and I grew up hearing all the time..

my father would always have the games on the radio when we were going anywhere.

RIP Harry.

I know exactly where you are coming from on the fond memories.

Some of my fondest memories growing up were hot summer nights with the sounds of Ernie Harwell coming from the kitchen where my Mom would have the Tigers game on her am radio. She always kept it loud enough so we could hear it throughout the house or through the open windows as we played in the yard. Ernie's signature call when there was a called thrid strike, "He stood there like a house by the side of the road."

Everytime I hear his voice, it brings me back.

RIP Harry Kalas
 

I am very saddened by this news. Harry Kalas was THE voice of the Phillies. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family, friends and all his fans. We will miss him very much.

Not only was his work with the Phillies superb but his work with NFL Films was also legendary.

yes the voice of nfl films.. r.i.p

Very sad passing......
 

Harry Kalas, a true LEGEND in broadcasting and just in sport period. He will never be forgotten, and has left us so many memorable calls to remember great moments in sports history. Condolences to his family and friends.
RIP

NFL Films may as well close their operation with out Harry on board. What a sad day for Phillies fans, and baseball lovers everywhere. Does bring a small smile to know one of his last acts was to call last fall's World Series.

I'm sure they thought the same thing when they lost John Facenda, the real voice of NFL Films. They'll find somebody.

That's gunna be pretty rough for people in Philly to deal with. We've had the same guy calling Dodger Games for a very long time, and it's gunna be tough when he retires, or passes. I know he has always loved watching the O Dog play, and he's playing super for the Dodgers.

I picked him up to use in my fantasy league this week, first day in the line up, he hits for the cycle!

This Met fan adored listening to him call the enemy's games. RIP

Really squaring up to the ball well (beachball right now.) Have to admit though that the Frisco pitching yesterday was incredibly bad. I think the Nationals would have been able to get 11 runs too.

Really Nice Tribute video.

4:45 and 6:30 choked my buddy and I up. I think that is when we first entertained the thought of, and came to the realization of no more Harry the K.

How special he was to this city can never be measured.
