Lost a great one today. I am not a Phillies fan, but he was one of the better announcers I have ever heard. Anyone that has lived even remotely close to Philadelphia at any point would know his voice instantly.

Even non-Philly fans may know his voice from NFL Films and Westwood One. They just announced off a Philly station that he passed out in the announcers booth in Washington and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

RIP!!!

Sad news. Harry Kalas was one of the great voices of sports.

I spent a year in the Philly area and loved listening to Kalas broadcast games. Great voice and he really knew his craft. Sad day indeed.
