Harry Kalas (1936-2009)

A truly sad day for Phillies fans and all baseball fans as longtime voice of the Phillies, Harry Kalas passed away today at the age of 73. Kalas was known for his one of a kind voice and his "Outta Here!" home run calls. As a Yankee fan, I did not get to hear many games called by Kalas, but the few games that I did catch were very enjoyable because of his wonderful voice and unique style of broadcasting a game. Kalas had also been doing voice-overs for NFL Films since 1975. Kalas was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.
