Harry’s Call Of Final Outs

Thanks to The 700 Level for finding somebody to dub Harry Kalas’ game-clinching call over the video. (Hurry and watch before MLB AM takes it down!) The dude shouting in the background is Larry Andersen.

First playoff game is Wednesday at 3 p.m. at CBP, against the Brewers.

The Good Things From Last Night’s Phillies Game

Surprisingly, there were some, even when the game scheduled to start at 7:05 didn’t begin until 11:30.

The first was Phillies broadcaster Larry Andersen, who last night said of Jeff Conine’s 0-for-7 performance the night before: “But after a night like that, I think he was on a suicide watch.” Ho ho!

The second was the Presidents’ Race, where giant costumed presidents (with huge heads) race around the field. And, since the game started at 11:30, reporters — reporters! — ran in some of the costumes, including Delco Times reporter Dennis Deitch, who was George Washington. And that costumed Thomas Jefferson who fell flat on his face? None other than Phillies.com reporter Ken Mandel.

“He’s the first person to fall in the history of the race,” CSN reporter John Finger said last night.

Congratulations, Ken! You did better than the Fightins did last night.
