Before I start the recaps, Monday was another sad day for baseball. First word came out that legendary Phillies play-by-play broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away after collapsing in the broadcasting booth in Washington, DC while preparing for the Phillies game against the Nationals. Starting in 1965 as the voice of the Houston Astros, Kalas joined the Phillies in 1971. He also was the narrator of NFL Films since 1975 and did voiceover for "Inside the NFL" from 1977 to 2008. Kalas' deep baritone voice called the biggest moments in Phillies history culminating in Brad Lidge's final strikeout in the World Series last season. Kalas was 73.
