another great voice has been lost

[VHSLhelper 571]

Harry Kalas has passed away Monday afternoon in the booth at National Park b4 the Wash.-Philly game.

Besides being the voice of the Phillies since 1971, he was Mr. "Inside the NFL" since 1977.

He also did those Chunky Soup commercials.

Oh, and former Tigers P Mark "The Bird" Fidrych also died Monday.

His pro. debut was with Bristol in 1974... he went 3-0 as a reliever.

Very sad indeed. And a very sad week for sports in general. :(
