WASHINGTON (AP) - Harry Kalas, the Hall of Fame radio and TV
voice of the Philadelphia Phillies, has died.

Kalas passed out in the broadcast booth before today's game in Washington against the Nationals. He was 73.

Team president David Montgomery announced the death Monday a
short time after Kalas passed out in the broadcast booth before a
game in Washington against the Nationals.
Montogomery's voice was cracking as he said that "we have lost
our voice."
Kalas had been with the Phillies since 1971 and was known for
his distinctive "Outta here!" home run call.
Football fans will also know Kalas' golden voice. He's been the voice of NFL films for the last 30 years.
