* Lest we forget: Harry Kalas

April 14, 2009

It’s been a rough week for baseball fans. Nick Adenhart, Mark Fidrych, and Harry Kalas, all gone.

Kalas was one of those “voices of God” that a few are blessed with (Charlton Heston and John Vernon also comes to mind). Whether he was broadcasting the Phillies games or doing the voice-over for NFL Films, Kalas provided a style and an air of authority that few in the industry have. One of those voices that could make the phone book sound like Shakespeare.
