WHYY- Harry Kalas Special

I recently received an e-mail promoting Ken Burns' documentary, The Tenth Inning, which aired last night on WHYY last night, and will continue tonight. The e-mail also sent a site that reflects on Philadelphia's baseball history called Feeding the Passion. On that site, I found an interesting documentary on the career of Harry Kalas.

Swing and a Long Drive has many Harry Kalas features on this site, and we would like to add the following video to the list.

Watch the full episode. See more WHYY Specials.

Eight Months Later, HK's Still in our Thoughts

Also featued on Phillies Nation.

You’re putting together a puzzle, and you’re just about finished. The whole puzzle is put together, but you realize that one piece is missing. You look in the box, and it’s not there.

From walk-off wins, to complete games, to winning a National League pennant, the 2009 season was filled with many memories. Even with all the success, Phillies baseball was missing something: their voice.

The Phillies organization did a terrific job remembering their late broadcaster. During the National League East celebration, the team rushed to left field, showering the “HK” sign with beer. “That ball is outta here!” was played after each home run, and “High Hopes” blasted after each win. Harry Kalas was inducted into the Wall of Fame, and the broadcast team shared their fondest memories of Kalas all year long. All these tributes were heartwarming and classy, but you can’t help but wonder: “how would HK have called it?”

During the World Series, Scott Franzke called Chase Utley’s homer run: “…and as our friend ‘HK’ would say, you are the man!” Franzke has done a fantastic job this season, and that call was perfect. It showed that eight months later, Harry is still in all of our thoughts.

“Outta here!” and “struck ‘em out!” are missed, but just as much as “no runs, no hits, no errors, and none left.” On many occasions, what happened on the field was remembered by his calls. There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t think of Harry. Phillies baseball wasn’t quite the same, but Harry would have been proud of this team.

Harry was the Phillies missing piece of the puzzle. He is missed very much, but I am thankful that I was able to listen to him over the years. HK will always be in our hearts, and always reminding us to have “High Hopes!”

HK Inducted; Phils Can't Win

Also posted on Phillies Nation.

"Harry never swung a bat or threw a pitch, or wore a uniform, but most likely, he had a more profound effect on Phillies baseball than any of us," Michael Jack Schmidt said in a beautiful pre-game ceremony inducting Harry Kalas into the Wall of Fame.

Thanks to technology and video archives, Kalas' own voice introduced Phillies legends as they walked onto the field. The start of Alumni Weekend brought out many former Phillies stars, but it didn't bring out the current Phillies bats.

The Florida Marlins jumped on Joe Blanton early. Larry Bowa's nephew, and newly acquired Marlin, Nick Johnson, homered to give the Fish a 1-0 lead. In the same inning, Raul Ibanez misplayed Dan Uggla's double which drove in another run. An inning later, Cody Ross homered and the Marlins were up by three.

After his early struggles, Blanton settled down. Those were the only three runs he allowed in 6.2 innings. He allowed eight hits, walked one, and struck out four.

The Phillies had a perfect opportunity to score after Ryan Howard led off the second inning with a double. Ibanez singled, and Howard was waved by Sam Perlozzo. For whatever reason, Howard stopped at third even though he clearly could have scored since Hanley Ramirez bobbled the ball. Ricky Nolasco got the next two batters, Ben Francisco and Greg Dobbs. Then, he unintentionally-intentionally walked Carlos Ruiz to get to Blanton and load the bases. Nolasco escaped without damage.

Francisco, who started in place of Shane Victorino (quad), made it a ballgame again with a left field home run into the flower bed. Before he homered, Francisco threw a runner out at home plate. It wasn't enough as the hitting woes continued. With two on and one out in the eighth, Howard struck out and Ibanez grounded out. The Phils left six men on base and were 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

The Phillies were lucky that the bullpen kept the game close. With a runner on second in the ninth inning, Scott Eyre struck out Chris Coghlan on a wild pitch, but Ruiz failed to throw to first for the final out. It led to a bases loaded jam. Thankfully, Tyler Walker struck out Hanley Ramirez, avoiding further damage.

It took Leo Nunez five pitches to convert the save, securing the Marlins 3-2 win. It was a great night to honor the legacy of Harry Kalas, but the game did not go the way the Phillies would've liked.

Marlins/Phils Open Alumni Weekend

For full gameday, visit Phillies Nation.

Florida Marlins (55-53) play at Philadelphia Phillies (61-45).

Ricky Nolasco (7-7, 5.00 ERA) starts vs. Joe Blanton (7-5, 4.02 ERA).

The Phillies open Alumni Weekend by inducting the legendary Harry Kalas into the Wall of Fame prior to tonight's game. Many Phillies legends from the past will be in town to celebrate the legacy of the late great, Harry Kalas.

Joe Blanton has been an inning eater. Since May 21, Big Joe is 5-2 with a 2.33 ERA. He has been a lot better since the beginning of the season when his ERA was over seven. The way he has been pitching lately, it is shocking that his ERA was once that high.

Speaking of high earned run averages, Ricky Nolasco gets the start for the Fish. Like, Blanton, Nolasco struggled at the beginning of the season. Nolasco was sent down to the minors, but since his re-call he has been dominant. He faced the Phillies earlier in the season and gave up four runs in six innings.

The Phillies have a seven game lead over the second place Marlins, so this is the perfect opportunity for the Phillies to add to their lead. The Phillies can't let the Marlins gain any ground. Like every game since the middle of April, listening to this game won't be the same. Kalas is missed. Let's get a win for him tonight.

Call of the Day: Shane Victorino's disputed home run in 2008.

"Shane lines it deep to left. Fair or foul? It is a fair ball! Outta
Here! Victorino with a two-run home run and the Phillies are on the board.
It is now a four to two game!"

*Looks at replay* "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow." *laughs* "It is a foul
ball. Cantu had a good look at it at third base. He immediately went
to Dale Scott. It was the third base umpire who called the ball
fair."

(Chris Wheeler says that Phils catch a break) "Yes sir, and the Phillies
get two runs."

Kalas to be Inducted into Wall of Fame

On August 7, Harry Kalas will be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame.

"When we started the Wall of Fame in 1978, the intent was to honor the great
players in our history," team president David Montgomery said. “We believe it is
fitting to make an exception because Harry deserves to be remembered along with
some of the greatest names in our history. He is indeed a Phillies icon."

The Wall of Fame is located in Ashburn Alley in center field at Citizens Bank Park.

Call of the Day: On April 8, Raul Ibanez hit his first home run as a Phillie.

"Towering drive, watch this baby! Way outta here! Off the
facing of the second deck! And this game is tied at two! Raul Ib-an-ez
delivers."

Victorino Calls His Shot

I saw a picture and video clip of Shane Victorino pointing up the press box after his home run, in honor of Harry Kalas, who passed away on Monday. Hours after the Phillies players found out the news, they played a game, which they won 9-8. Before the game, a few guys smoked in the dugout to remember Harry, who was a heavy smoker.


One of the puffers was Victorino. And before his at bat, Babe Ruth style, he pointed to the outfield. He hit home run and pointed the press box.

Call of the Day: Today's call comes from June 3, 2007 on Shane Victorino's walk off home run against the San Francisco Giants.

"High fly ball, deep to left ... Could it be? ... VICTORINO! ... No Ka Oi!
... Shane Victorino -- on Victorino Figurine Day! -- has won the ball game with
an opposite field home run! Phillies win it 9-8! You couldn't've scripted it any
better! "

Kalas Announcements

Harry Kalas had an autopsy revealing the cause of his death: cardiovascular disease. The disease is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes.

The Phillies will wear black HK circular patches on their jersey's in the heart area to remember Kalas. Harry's signature will also be displayed on the field for the Phillies homestand.

The Phillies will honor Kalas prior to Friday's home game against the Padres.

After son Kane Kalas sings the national athem and Todd, Brad, and Kane Kalas throw out the first pitch, there will be a moment of silence. Also on Friday, fans will recieve a photo of Harry and watch a video tribute. Fans area encouraged to join into "High Hopes" during the seventh inning stretch.

For the first half of the first inning, there will be no annoucer commentary on CN8's broadcast.

On Saturday, the Phillies will hold a memorial tribute and funeral service for Kalas at Citizen's Bank Park. Burial and funeral service will be private, but the first fans to arrive can pay respects to Kalas at 8:00 AM. An on the field tribute will begin at 1:00 PM.

The Phillies broadcatse booth will be named the Harry Kalas Broadcast Booth, "That ball's outta here!" with an official plaque. It is next to the Richie ("Whitey") Ashburn Broadcast Booth, "This game is easy, Harry." After every Phillies home run, "Outta Here!" will be played over the PA stystem. A drape will be hung over the broadcast booth and a billboard honring Harry will be dispalyed in the outfield.

Call of the day: Harry was Phillies baseball, and remember his legendary calls. This blog was named after a great Harry Kalas call, Mike Schmidts 500th home run in 1987. Although I was not born yet, its one of the greatest calls of all time. Every Phillies game day, there will be a Kalas Call of the day, a famous call or quote of his from over the years.

""Swing and a long drive... there it is... No. 500, the career 500th home run for Michael Jack Schmidt and the Phillies have regained the lead at Pittsburgh 8 to 6."

Harry Kalas Tribute

It was the sound of summer. The voice of Phillies baseball. It's hard to believe that April 12, 2009 would be the last time we'd hear it. But our voice is gone, and listening to Phillies baseball won't be the same without hearing the legendary voice of Harry Kalas.

He passed away in the press box at Nationals Park, in the town he watched his hero Mickey Vernon play, doing what he loved to do.

The tears on every Phillies fan shows that Harry was more than a terrific broadcaster. I never met Harry the K, but the tears in my eyes goes to show how one man can impact an entire city, and the entire baseball community. The players loved him. The fans loved him.

During the seventh inning stretch, he was there throwing peanuts to the fans while singing "Take me out to the ballgame." There was never a time he turned down an autograph, photo, or the recording of a cell phone answering machine. He had celebrity status, but he didn't let it get to him. My dad's friend met Harry why waiting to vote. My dad's friend asked why he wouldn't cut to the front of the line, but Harry waited in line like the average Joe.

His best friend was Richie Ashburn, who passed away in 1997. I wasn't old to enough to remember, but everyone says they were the best broadcast duo. Just listening to Harry, I find that easy to believe. Harry carried on memories of his late friend and frequently told his favorite Whitey stories.

Harry's love of the game started as a child, and his enthusiasm never left, even in the most meaningless of games. Like most people in the area, I grew up listening to Harry, whether it was on television, or the radio. He's all I know.

All of calls give me goosebumps. His "Outta here!" calls are world famous, originated from Larry Bowa on a Greg Luzinski batting practice home run. But his other calls were just as great. "Struck 'em out!" "Looong drriiiive," "Could it be?" "Can you believe it!?"

Even the little calls like "Walked 'em on four pitches," "the throw to the plate" or "goes down swinging" or the simple words "base hit" had a defining tone.

He was getting older, and he may of lost a few steps. There were time we'd "Watch this baby.. get caught at the warning track." But it didn't matter. Harry was in the booth and that is all we cared about.

We remember Phillies baseball by his calls. He didn't have a chance to call the 1980 World Series on air. However, the love of the Philadelphia fans helped changed the rule three years later to let team broadcasters get a chance to call playoff games. In 2008, he had that opportunity.

"One strike away; nothing-and-two, the count to Hinske. Fans on the their feet;
rally towels are being waved. Brad Lidge stretches. The 0-2 pitch — swing and a
miss, struck him out! The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 World Champions of
baseball! Brad Lidge does it again, and stays perfect for the 2008 season!
48-for-48 in save opportunities, and watch the city celebrate! Don't let the
48-hour wait diminish the euphoria of this moment, and the celebration. And it
has been 28 years since the Phillies have enjoyed a World Championship; 25 years
in this city with a team that has enjoyed a World Championship, and the fans are
ready to celebrate. What a night!"

There was Mike Schmidt's 500th career home run.

"Swing and a long drive, there it is, number 500! The career 500th home run for
Michael Jack Schmidt!"

Those are just two of his most notable calls, but he has thousands. A walk off or great way to end a game, fans know his calls by heart.

Maybe it was Thome's 400th home run, "take a bow big man!" "Chase Utley, you are the man!" Aaron Rowand's "great, great, perhaps, game saving catch!" Ryan Howard's tremendous home run "over the backdrop!" or the last out of Terry Muholland, Rick Wise or Kevin Millwood's no hitter. Any or every exciting Phillies moment was capped off with a legendary call that will stick in our memories for the rest of our lives.

After the Phillies clinched the division, or moved to the next round of the playoffs, we'd be sure to hear his rendition of "High Hopes!"

He had fun with names. Whether it was Michael Jack, Mic-KEY Mor-an-DI-ni, Bo-bby Ab-REU or nicknames like Mitchy-Poo, The Big Man, JRoll and T-Mac, the way he said everybody's name was unique. Even if it wasn't a player or broadcaster. Like many games, he gave up birthday wishes, including my Pop-pop back in 2001. Roc-CO Ac-ITO!

Many players said that you weren't an official big leaguer until Kalas announced your name.

Phillies fans were spoiled listening to him. He was one reason why so many of us fell in love baseball. Nationally televised games were dreaded because it meant no Harry the K.

We remember his voice. We remember his speeches. We remember his first pitch during the ring ceremony. We remember him taking down the final number at the Vet. We will always remember Harry.

"For play-by-play, here's Harry." "Alright, thank you Wheels."

He was imitated by many, but nothing was like hearing the Hall of Fame voice; the voice that belonged to the Phillies since 1971. The voice that will forever be missed.

RIP Harry Kalas

"We lost our voice today." -David Montgomery

Harry Kalas passed away today before the Phillies and Nationals game. He was found in the press box before he was rushed to the hospital, where he died at 1:20 PM.

Kalas, a 2002 Ford C. Fick Award winner, and hall of famer, made some of the greatest calls in the game. His world famous "Outta Here!" was his legendary trade mark.



Kalas was with the Phillies since 1971, and was able to call Mike Schmidt's 500th home run and last year's World Championship.

His last home run call: Matt Stairs home run.



RIP Harry Kalas. You're with Whitey now.

You will be deeply missed. Listening to Phillies games will never be the same. YOU are the man.

"Swing and a drive to right center field. Maddox is there!"

"Well hit to deep left. Goodbye! Way, way, outta here! Gary Mathews! What a League Championship Series he's having."

"Nothing-and-two to Bill Russell.. Al Holland. They're going crazy here at Veteran's stadium. Struck him out! Phillies have won it! Holland dives on Mike Schmidt! Paul Owens coming out. The Phillies have won the National League pennant. The score 7-2, as the Phillies are the 1983 National League Champs winning it 3 out of 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers."

"Swing and a miss! Struck him out! The Phillies are the '93 National League Champions! Mitch Williams, a 1-2-3 save and this place is bedlam at Veterans Stadium."

"Here is the 3-2 pitch.. Swing and a line drive! He did it! Vukovich made the catch! Wise has done it! A no hit, no run game!"

"Line drive. Great grab! Charlie Hayes! And Mulholland has pitched the first nine inning no-hitter in the history of the Vet."

"All eyes are on Tommy Greene. 2 outs, no base runners, ninth inning. Greene working on a no hit no run game. Tim Wallach, who is 0-1 has walked, line to right and walked. Hard ground ball! Great grab Greene! It's over! He's pitched a no hit, no run game, making the final out himself! Tommy Greene a no hitter! And he is really being mobbed by the entire Phillie bench. What an effort by Tommy Greene. Terry Muholland who pitched the last Phillies no hitter at Veterans Stadium against San Francisco last year, one of the first ones out. That young man has to be really excited. The appreciative Montreal fans even though they lost giving Tommy Greene a standing ovation. What a thrill for the 24 year old from North Carolina."

"Struck him out! Ball game is over! Phillies win it by a score of 6-2. Steve Carlton wins his 300th major league game, and the big left hander is the first one to go out and shake the hand of Al Holland. Steve Carlton, 300 Major League wins, 199 losses. Paul Owens is hugging the big left hander. What a pleasure it was to watch him pitch over the years since joining the Phillies in 19 hundred and 72. Thanks left hander. You've given us a lot of thrills."

"Struck 'em out! Number 3,522, Steve Carlton! He has surpassed Nolan Ryan for the all time Major League strike out king!"

"Swing and a well hit ball to deep right. This ball's outta here! Home run The Dude! The Phillies are right back in this ballgame, its 5 to 4 in the seventh."

"Ground ball to third. It might be two.. Wide throw by Batiste to right field and safe all around."

"Swing.. a hard ground ball. Base hit! Base hit! Down the left field line! Kruk scores! Phils win! 4-3 on the RBI hit by Kim Batiste. What a big win and game one by the Phightin Phils!"

"...the 2-1 pitch... Swing and a Long Drive! Deep left field! A grand slam! The Phillies, have won the game! Unbelievable! Bo Diaz, a grand slam home run and the Phillies have won the game, in the ninth."

"One strike to 'em. Swing and a long drive! It might be a slam! It is! The Phillies win, by a score of 5-3, on a pinch grand slam by Ozzie Virgil!"

Lake scores, here comes Dernier! The throw to the plate... safe! I can't believe it! The Phillies have won 3-2 in the bottom half of the 12th inning! Incredible! Mitchell could not pick the ball up down in the corner, it kicked away from him. Dernier has circled the bases! Bedlam here at Veterans Stadium, when all looked lost! The Phightin' came back and won, 3 to 2!"

"Swing and a well hit ball to left field. Thompson back, leaps up and makes a great catch! Reaches into the fence and it might have saved the game! What a catch by Milt Thomposon!"

"Look out! Here's a National League record. 9th home run of the night for the Cincinnati Reds."

"Swing and a line shot to right center! It's a gapper! And would you believe it! The Krukker at second with a double!"

"Driven to deep right center field. It is a grand slam! And the Phillies have taken a 7-6 lead! What a big blow by Rolen!"

"Long drive! Could it be? It is a game winning pinch hit home run, Mike Lieberthal! Can you believe it? The Phillies have come back to win, 8 to 7! What a stunning defeat for Pittsburgh! What an accelerating win for the Phightin' Phils, who have come back to score seven runs in the ninth inning and win 8-7 on a pinch hit home run by Mike Lieberthal! I can not believe it!"

"Jimmy Rollins is going to have his first major league hit. Off the fence and watch him fly! It's going to be a triple! Rollins... heading for third... Head first slide. He's there with a triple!"
