Harry Kalas, one of the most legendary and recognizable voices in all of sports passed away this afternoon at the age of 73. Kalas, who broadcasted Phillies game since 1971, was found unresponsive in the broadcast booth this afternoon prior to the Phillies away game in Washington DC, and was pronounced dead not long after.
For people who grew up outside of Philly, he's better known as the voice of NFL Films. He took on that role in 1975. I remember watching ESPN after school and marveling at his wonderful voice. I used to try imitating it, but quickly realized my feeble excuse of a voice would never get deep enough. He will be greatly missed by Philadelphia fans and NFL fans from all over the country.
