R.I.P. Harry Kalas 1935-2009


Awful news coming out of Washington D.C.

Legendary Philladelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas has died.

Kalas collapsed Mr. Kalas collapsed in the press box at Nationals Stadium in Washington at about 12:30 p.m. and was rushed to George Washington University Medial Center.

Kalas died at 1:20 p.m. today, the Phillies announced.

The cause of the death was not announced. Today's game against the Nationals will be played, but the team will not visit the White House tomorrow.

Kalas wasn't just the voice of the Phillies, but he was also the voice of Campbell's Chunky Soup and the voice of NFL Films.

The only tribute I can think of for Harry Kalas is to highlight the four places Phillies fans heard him the most.

Harry Kalas announces an advertisement for the NFL 2K2 Video Game.


Harry Kalas announces the Giants "Double Miracle" from Super Bowl XLII.


Harry Kalas announces for Cambell's Chunky Soup.


And of course, Harry Kalas calls the Phillies winning the 2008 World Series!


RIP Harry Kalas. You will be missed.
