Just saw this story. No matter how you feel about the Phillies, I hope he's ok. He's a great announcer with the Phillies and NFL Films. I wish him the best.

Harry has passed per ESPN News.

Another sad day in baseball. Man, this is turning into a sad early season!


R.I.P. Harry.

To me, you and John Facenda will always be the voices of NFL Films!

Harry and Whitey Ashburn reunited again. Harry made baseball games worthwhile. He will be missed. Our prayers to the family.

THIS BASEBALL SEASON SUCKS!

GOD, CAN WE PLEASE GET A REDO???? PLEASE????????

Very, very sad day.

In retrospect, I was glad the Phillies won the World Series last fall- before he unfortunately left, at least he got to call a championship season.

RIP...

I know baseball is a different sport from hockey, but I know what it's like to lose an announcer that you and other fans of your team admire and respect.

I remember what it was like when former Buffalo Sabres TV announcer Ted Darling passed away- that hit me close to the heart, being a Sabres fans who grew up in Buffalo and listening to him in the late 80s and early 90s as I grew into a fan of the team.

My condolences to his family and the Phillies organization.

 

[Mets82]

My condolences to his family. Thats too bad. Just a great voice overall. He got to see the Phillies win the World Series. Very sad, even though Im a Mets fan, its just too bad.

Harry Kalas

I remember when Kalas arrived as a Phillies announcer. I thought he was just using the Phillies as a temporary stepping stone to the New York market. But I grew to appreciate the teaming of Kalas and Richie Ashburn as a broadcast team. Also he was a great replacement for John Facenda as a voice of the NFL films. I choose to use a smily face for the fond memories.

This was devistating news today... it's hard to listen to the broadcast at work today... very very sad.

 

[Jimmy 440]

Phillies broadcasts won't be the same anymore.

 

[JamesJ]

thats really sad.

 

[DodgerKing]

Watching a Phils game without hearing him call it would be like watching a Dodgers game without Scully calling it. He will be missed. RIP

BTW, for those NFL fans, he was the voice behind NFL Classic Films.
