The Phillies made sure to honor late broadcaster Harry Kalas when they celebrated their third-straight NL East title earlier this week.

Several players ran out to the memorial sign on the left-field wall at Citizens Bank Park to toast the late broadcaster, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Kalas died in April after collapsing in the radio booth at Nationals Park.

"Harry played a big part on our team, more than I realized," manager Charlie Manuel said. "What [the players] did was absolutely super."
