It’s obvious I don’t know how to master the quote feature here. Oh, well. I tried!

Randal Graves Says:

Yes, Randal, there were really tears. The same as when Whitey passed and when Gene Hart passed. I’m a passionate Philadelphia fan. What can I say?

Wow, that’s three luminaries we’ve lost today related to ballplaying:

Harry Callas

Mark “the Bird” Fidrych

Marilyn Chambers

(I’m going to hell for that.)

I’m so sad.

I grew up with him, Whitey, and as you mentioned, Gene Hart.

Such a sad day for many people.

Not my town, but I know how it feels to lose a great hometown broadcaster. There are big shoes to fill this day.

Man this stinks. Wagonsux I hear ya they were probably the best broadcast team ever. Whitey must have put the Red Hook’s on ice last night in heaven for harrys arrival today.

Harry became the voice of the Phillies when I was 5 years old. I watch, or listen, to the Philies everyday. For me, there are only two seasons. Baseball season and waiting for Baseball.

I miss listening to Harry and Richie Ashburn. (Richie got better in the later innings). They were great together.

Enough rambling. I’m going back to watching my beloved Phillies.
