May Harry Kalas REST IN PEACE.. another legend Lost!!
That is really too bad. As a big fan of baseball, I will miss great announcers like him. It seems we lose one of them every season.
He was also the NFL FILMS announcer...
May Harry Rest in peace!
We should all die doing what we like to do best. RIP, or should that be RBI?
By Saam,Richie Ashburn and now Harry Kalas.The Phillies are
on MLB against the Senators at 3:05.
This is a terrible shock. A great, great voice is stilled. God bless and RIP Harry Kalas; and my prayers for your family.
Harry with his son!
I just heard him on Philly’s Big Talker 1210 broadcasting a Phillies’ game Friday. A sad loss for all of us. Always like his voiceovers for NFL Films, too.

Here’s a nice video “Harry Kalas David Henderson Humanitarian Award Video” that includes a bio on Harry.
Hopefully not Bob Shepard
Is NFL Films still based in South Jersey??? Both John (Voice of God) Facenda & Harry Kalas were Philly broadcasters. I don't know of any other local talent that has a "distinct voice" that could follow in their wake.
I hope he has fun with his Friend Whitey in Heaven!! NFL Films lost a legend!
hahaha
Forgot to add that I’m going to miss him. Harry’s been the voice of the Phils since I was 11. Baseball won’t be the same.
I’m going to miss his tastee cake commercials!
I remember Delivering Beer to By SAAMS house near Narberth!
Harry Had a Rough start as an announcer but quickly won our Hearts!!!
Great video..
He’s the voice of “frozen tundra” and Campbell’s Chunky Soup?
Facenda was the Nicest Gentlest Guy always came into cavenaughs accross from st Joes after the Broadcast! had to make that Voice more Baritonish.hahaha
He was NFL Films until HARRY!! Harry also did Notre dame games and Highlights at one time!!
This braves-falcons fan sends his respects.
Mr.Kalas had a very distinctive voice and delivery. Loved his work on football games over the radio.
