RIP' Harry Callas

The voice of The Phillies left the world today. His voice was the heart and soul of every Phil's game. An old school gentleman, a loyal fan, an astute intelligent man. So glad I heard him call that last play in October 2008. I am watching the game now, hoping maybe, our boys can do it again next October.
30 years his voice called the plays, nuanced, subtle, excited, disappointed. A soundtrack and distinct sound--and its outta here!
Thanks Harry, for everything, for coloring my childhood summers, for the way my father listened to you, and finally, a perfect finish.
and he's outta here!
