    Kalas' call + Schmidt's reaction = one of the great moments I've ever seen.

    Some good stuff from the Inquirer, including a phenomenal lede by Bill Lyon:

    Can't help but read some of the quotes in that story and hear Harry's voice telling it.

    Apparently, the Phillies also passed around a cigarette in the dugout in his honor before the game. Awesome tribute.

    Everything the Phillies did today, the team and the club personnel alike, oozed class.
