Harry Kalas, 1936-2009

Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas died today at age 73. It's a sad loss for Philadelphia sports fans, or really any sports fan for that matter. Kalas was not only the main play-by-play announcer for the Phillies since 1971, but also the voice of NFL Films, and some commercials including Campbell's Soup. To me, he goes on the "Mount Rushmore" of greatest voices ever, along with the late John Facenda.

Harry Kalas will be missed...but thanks to the great work he left behind, his memory will never truly be "outta here."
