He and Richie Ashburn were an great announcing team. What a day - Mark The Bird Fidrych also died - only 54; and just off the wire: Bruce Snyder - ex Arizona State coach dead at 69.

Not like the Exponationals sold the game out. Depressing, his voice was so recognizible and he brought great story telling to games. Even not as a Phillies fan, he was a true legend of broadcasting and so good at his job. God speed Harry, and have a beer with Harry Caray up in the booth in Heaven..:) http://www.wrestlingbeltworld.com I am wondering why MLB didn't postpone the game under the circumstances.

He was the greatest. Pure class off the air, if people only knew. He will be missed dearly. That's a cliche, but in this case it's very true. Between Adenhart and Harry it's been a might tough week.

He will be missed dearly. That's a cliche, but in this case it's very true.
