CSN pregame turns it over to the broadcast team. Gudel says they'll be covering Harry K through 11pm...

Slobotkin thinks Franzke might get a chance too but said it was important that TMac came back from the Mets a few years ago so Harry and the fans could get used to him before this moment arrived...

"From the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania....."

I'm crying typing that.


I didn't see it live, because I was at that game. But I have the highlight video, and it was a fine, fine speech.

No Whitey, now no Harry. Truly the end of an era. At least they're together again. Heaven is in for a treat.

RIP.

I'm stunned that the Phillies' announcers are able to keep themselves together and call a baseball game.

I now really wish I hadn't cancelled my cable. If anyone has any of the tributes, please post them.

I turned on the radio and the announcing crew is barely keeping it together.
