The voice of the Phillies, Harry Kalas, an icon in the city of Philadelphia passed away tragically on Monday, and has been remembered fondly by a number of sports legends. "He carried a great burden in his life and he carried it tremendously well, and that's to keep everyone who had any interest in Philly baseball in a good mood, which is what Harry was able to do ... He's an icon in Philadelphia," Mike Schmidt said. "It will take an entire generation that's living today, our grandparents all the way to our kids' kids before we get to a generation that isn't familiar with Harry Kalas and his voice and his passion for baseball and people." "To us, the players, he meant the world to us," John Kruk said. "I remember winning the division, I remember clinching the National League championship and we couldn't wait for Harry to get in. We couldn't wait for Harry to get in to sing "High Hopes". He would grab a microphone in the clubhouse and sing "High Hopes" and he was just a special man." "Any time there's a player, when you do anything on the field that amounts to anything and you have someone the caliber of Harry Kalas, the one calling it ... of course it's always going to send chills up your spine when you hear it again," Mitch Williams said.
