Though I never listened to the games he called for the Phillies, I certainly did when I watched anything from NFL Films. Between Harry Kalas and the Voice of God, John Facenda, they narrated some of the best football games ever recorded. I'm sorry to see him go. May he rest in peace.
Me, too. I was more familiar with Kalas's work for Inside the NFL. And now, the 'Bird' - Mark Fidrych - is gone, too. I just heard it while watching the Cubs game on tv. Sad, sad day for baseball fans.
Yes, a sad day for the sports world altogether. I so remember watching the Bird on the weekend national broadcasts ages ago.
I just heard, too, that Marilyn Chambers, of Behind the Green Door fame, was found dead by her 17 yr. old daughter yesterday in northern L.A. County. She was only 56 yrs. old.
