Mr. Kallas has passed away... this man was one of the greats... and deserves some damn respect. His voice was legendary, his calls were silky, and the man was a class act.
He was given the option to have a Vin Scully schedule where he didn't have to make any trips and he said... "fuck that, baseball is played everyday, I'm going to call it everyday". He called the only 2 WS the Phillies have won, all of Mike Schmidts HR's and all of Chase Utley's legendary bombs while being well on his way to being the greatest 2B of all time.
Watching NFL Films makes the hair on your arms stand up - I know Gizz will take some time to reflect. Also, repects to Mark "The Bird" Fydrich - a legend of his own time... but that time was before me.
