It's... Outttta Here!" Appreciating Harry Kalas

Harry Kalas' pipes were unmistakable, whether on NFL Films or calling Phillies games... but his charm was about far more than his voice. This week, Josh Suchon, the Voice of the Albuquerque Isotopes, and Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts, analyze the traits that made Kalas an iconic, beloved broadcaster.

Wikipedia is very drunk. In 1980, only the World Series was national exclusive. So that footage from Game 5 of NLCS was indeed the actual live broadcast from WPHL which was the Phillies affiliate, not a recreation.. Game also was carried by WPVI, which is the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. The game was also allowed on the local radio, so Harry and Andy Musser would switch from TV and radio in the middle innings. Also, the cackling at the end was actually McCarver as Richie Ashburn had gone down to the clubhouse for post game interviews. McCarver had been put on the active roster in September so he could become the first player to play in 4 different decades I believe, I guess being part of their late season battle had him quite giddy. Hope this information is helpful coming from a life long Phillies fan. I will also unashamedly admit to being in tears the day Harry passed away at Nationals Park. He would be having a blast calling this current Phillies team Im sure.
