I got chills down my back when I read this from a kid who is a Phillies fan. You are the epic Phillies fan and this just got me caught up in the moment. I'm sure Harry read this from up above and loved it. This is impressive. I got chills down my back when I read this from a kid who is a Phillies fan.

I come to this article with a different perspective. I grew up in Houston listening to Milo Hamilton call the Astros games. No disrespect to Milo, as I grew up listening to him during the hot Texas summers, but when I moved here to Philadelphia, I heard Harry K for the first time and he had a magical way of calling games. His genuine feel and way of relaying a game made watching it on TV unnecessary. Harry K was truly one of a kind and it could be heard from the first moment his voice drifted from your radio. Great article Foltz and R.I.P. Harry Kalas. Foltz…fantastic job. I come to this article with a different perspective. I grew up in Houston listening to Milo Hamilton call the Astros games.

Also, please remember Harry's work with Westwood One Radio broadcasting Sunday afternoon NFL games, his work with NFL Films and his voiceover commercials for Campbell's Chunky Soup...to those of us outside Philadelphia, we remember Harry Kalas for these moments as well! Thoughts and Prayers to Harry's Family. He will be missed!

I know I'll never listen to Phillies games the same way again anymore. That was a great piece of writing Foltz! I know I’ll never listen to Phillies games the same way again anymore.

Harry Kalas was a great man and he was the heart and soul of the Phillies. I will miss his excitement and of course his Home Run calls, "That ball's way outta here!" This is your sports journalism skills kicking in. You are the man. Steve Foltz, this is almost made me cry . Harry Kalas was a great man and he was the heart and soul of the Phillies.

It is so sad that we lost Harry, but so wonderful that we had him broadcasting the Phillies. What a magical ending to a glorious life - the World Series - The Ring Ceremony - Matt Stairs heroics - and then he collapses in a broadcast booth at a park. It's as if God himself wrote the script. And now Harry and Ritchie are together again. If there is a Field of Dreams, they are in the booth. Very well written – nice job.

SO many stories and memories to share. Hard to pick which one to share first.....so keep'em coming everybody... from any first hand experiences with Harry...to memories of sitting on the front porch with radio, glove, ball, & bat nearby, recreating Harry's broadcast, while the sky turns orange and the fireflies come out.... VERY fond memories..from childhood to yesterday.... in a word....bittersweet. Thanks Foltz! Nicely done, Foltz! SO many stories and memories to share.

For a lot of us, he was the voice of summer, the only Phillies voice we ever knew, the smooth voice of summer afternoons on a Sunday... I am just glad that he finally had the chance to call a World Series (since he wasn't able to in 1980) and I am grateful that he passed in the place he loved... the booth.
