Phils lose to Nats, 8 - 2. :stunned:

RESPECT in every sense of the word... PHILADELPHIA - April 14, 2009 - (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia Phillies have announced that the team will pay tribute to the late Harry Kalas before Friday night's game at Citizens Bank Park. It will be the first home game since the Hall of Fame broadcaster passed away. The Phillies will honor their legendary voice prior to the game with several tributes: The television booth in which Harry broadcast since Citizens Bank Park opened in 2004 will be named the Harry Kalas Broadcast Booth. A plaque will be hung to officially name the booth. The neighboring radio booth is named the Richie ("Whitey") Ashburn Broadcast Booth. The ceremonial first ball will be thrown by Harry's three sons, Todd, Brad and Kane. Prior to the National Anthem, to be sung by Harry's son Kane, there will be a moment of silence. All fans will receive an 8"x10" color photograph of Harry. Harry's signature will be displayed on the field during the seven-game homestand beginning on Friday. Also for the seven games, a black drape will appear in front of the Phillies radio and TV booths and the Phillies flag in Ashburn Alley will be hung at half-mast. A video of Harry's career will be aired on PhanaVision. During the seventh-inning stretch, a video of Harry singing "High Hopes" will be shown on PhanaVision. Fans will be encouraged to join in. Other acknowledgements include: During the first half-inning of the game televised by Comcast Network Philadelphia (formerly CN8), there will be no announcer commentary. Throughout the remainder of the season, a billboard honoring Harry will be displayed on the outfield wall. As previously announced, an HK patch will be worn on Phillies uniforms this season. Throughout the 2009 season, following every Phillies home run, Harry's legendary "Outta Here!" home run call will be played over the PA system as the Liberty Bell lights up. There will also be a memorial tribute to the legendary broadcaster at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, April 18th.

I know there are a few posts in the MLB thread but Harry deserves his own, even though this isn't a big sports board. I've noticed there are quite a few of us Philadelphia fans on Coldplaying and here we can pay tribute to the greatest sports broadcaster that ever lived. There will never be another voice like Harry's. I've spent my entire life listening to him call endless Phillies games over endless summers and now, sadly, it is truly the end of an era. Baseball for me will never be the same. I feel like my most beloved grandfather has died. You could always count on Harry being there for you when tuning in to a game. While players come and go, he was the one constant. I am so happy for him that he finally got to call a winning World Series championship for the city of Philadelphia. I am sure that along with being inducted into the baseball Hall Of Fame, it was the greatest moment of his life. God Bless you Harry. You were simply the best. In our hearts, you will never be OUTTA HERE!!!! (sorry, I had to squeeze it in somewhere)

I'm gonna start a thread for Harry. He deserves it.

Just how many days left til the show???????? Wait for it........ Wait for it............ 42!!!!!! 42!!!!!! 42!!!!!! 42!!!!!! 42!!!!!! 42!!!!!! Exactly six weeks from today!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

^and yeah, CONcasttix.com isn't any better. Boo online ticket agencies!!! I got stuck with section 104 row bb (last row) seat 28 (by the wall) on the day of the goddamn pre-sale. F*ckers!!!

Square One

Hi hon! Now back to the topic... Live Nation sucks!!! Coldplay (soft) rocks!!! :D

riiight....:P just how good were those seats? sect 102 would be money.

They've had seats in the pit in the past. I'm hoping that it gets changed come show time because: a) my gf is kinda hm and ALWAYS wears ridiculously uncomfortable high-fashion shoes and prolly doesn't want to stand the whole show(sorry hon! 143 :kiss:) and b) i have pit row g02 tix!!!! booya!!!! But I doubt it cuz Chris doesn't like people "sat down". Unless they're singing their face off then maybe he wouldn't mind!! :laugh3: edit: 47 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice siggy ;)
