Harry Kalas, by far my favorite sportscaster ever, died in the press box preparing for a Phillies vs. Nationals baseball game this afternoon. Very few people have influenced how I look at things the way harry did. No matter how awful the Phils were (and they were quite horrible at times), harry found a way to accentuate the positive. He and his late partner, Rich Ashburn, were two of the classiest guys in pro sports. I am thankful Harry was there when the Phils received their World Series Championship rings last week. No matter what you do for a living, Harry Kalas could teach you a thing or two about pursuing excellence each and every day.
For the rare few who never heard Harry on the air, he greeted homeruns with the famous words: Watch that baby go! Outta here! Home Run!!!!
