Speaking of Philly entertainment, I was saddened to read that the Phillies' announcer died today.  (In the booth, apparently.)

In mid-announcement?  Or was it during a commercial break?

Looks like something happened during his pre-game show-prep.

Also, from PFT's Twitter:
"RIP, Harry Kalas-- the voice of the Philadelphia Phillies for as long as I've been alive. Died in the booth! A pro 'til the end."

Yeah, sad day here in Hostile City over Harry's passing. Though I grew up with the Yankees, I understand the role that Kalas played in local culture.

I went down an' trew one a' nem cheesestakes inta the Skoo-kill in his memry.
I thought I heard some applause. NO APPLAUSE!
