I will say though, tom McCarthy is super super underrated. He just strikes me as a 100% Pennsy guy, you hear it in the annunciation. Plus he just comes across as a baseball guy. Seems like he would pull a chair up next to ya at a bar or restaurant. And talk baseball all night. That said... Kalas is a legend. That voice will carry with all the baseball gods for the rest of time.

3:30 This was a double header that was supposed to start at 5pm but rain delay after rain delay kept on happening and they were determined to complete the thing. The Phils lost game 1 and game 2 began after midnight. This hit happened at about 4am. I was a bread delivery driver at the time and was starting my route when this game finally ended. The Phils didn't have anyone left so Mitch Williams had to hit for himself.

As a PSU fan, beating Ohio State in 2017 and the Big 10 title was fun. But NOTHING compared to the Phillies title in 2008. It was the most fun I’ve ever had as a fan.

The player who had the greatest amount of impact in the shortest amount of time to that franchise has to be Roy Halladay. Two no hitters in one season, and the only other postseason no-hitter ever thrown. The man was very clutch. It was Roy who was on the mound when the Phillies clinched the 2010 division title. And he was on the mound in the 9th inning finishing that game with a freaking shutout if I remember right. Roy is one of two men that I've known to play five seasons or fewer for a franchise, and get his number retired by that franchise. Nolan Ryan is the other.

Finally on an afternoon in Montreal in the 8th inning when the whole year was on the line, Mike Schmidt hit the realy most important HR of his career with the geatest call by Harry Kalas: "He buried it!!" That homerun lead to the 1st Phillies World Championship ever. It was the most important HR of all time, Phillies-wise imho.
