While thinking about how baseball will never sound the same, it's time for an all-Harry Kalas e-mail bag.
Since 1971, Phillies fans have been comfortable inviting Harry into their living rooms, cars, backyards, beach blankets and anyplace else they wanted to hear or see the game. And we were always comfortable with Harry in our presence. How many times have you heard someone say about an announcer, "That guy gets on my nerves." You never heard that about Harry.

Greg,
That was the remarkable thing about Harry. Even more impressive than his voice or his talent for calling a game was how he managed to become universally loved in Philadelphia. That's tough in any city. It's damn near impossible here. That's a truly amazing trick. Even if you never met him, he made you feel special. I don't think we'll see another person like him in this town.
