RIP, Harry. I hope you and Whitey enjoy watching this season together.

I just had a bad, bad feeling when I first heard the news.

this totally sucks.

for the last few years i'd kind of prepared myself for what the phillies would be like without harry, knowing at some point he'd retire. but i never expected this.

this is really awful.

Honestly, the enjoyment I get from the Phillies has just decreased by at least 60%.
I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

Its like he was holding out for WFC before he moved on. The team delivered.

I'm devastated, but so thankful that the Phillies gave him one last thrill last year. Rest in Peace Harry, you'll not soon be forgotten.

Heartbreaking news. He was the voice of youth and hope and joy and... baseball. He was my voice of baseball.

RIP

That it was quick, and that he got to enjoy--and we got to enjoy him enjoying--last year, are the blessings here.

We love ya, Harry. Always.

By all accounts an absolute class act out of the booth as well, you will be missed Harry, I'm glad we were able to bring you one last WFC.
