Philadelphia said goodbye to good friend Harry Kalas, voice of the Phillies, two years ago today. Harry the K was in the Nationals press box when he collapsed several hours before the start of the home opener for the Nationals. Harry's Phillies went on to beat the Nationals 9-8 that day after taking drags of his brand in tribute - Parliaments, which he called "heaters."Let's hope that the Phillies win another one for HK tonight as Doc goes 9-0 with the Nationals. Until then, light up a "heater," crack open a cold one, and listen again to one of the best voices in baseball here. Baseball Voices also put together a terrific CD featuring some of HK's most memorable calls, available for purchase here—highly recommended next time you're found with your head on the ground, gettin' low, or feelin' bad.
Kerplop!

they're putting up a statue of him at the stadium that was funded by the fans.
