Harry Kalas collapsed in the press box today before a game between the Phillies and the Washington Nationals. He was rushed to the hospital but died at 1:20 p.m.
The team won't visit the White House tomorrow as planned.
Mr. Kalas, who turned 73 on March 26, has broadcast Phillies games since 1971. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 as the recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award. He is entering the final season of a 3-year contract that he signed in December 2006.

See some great videos and interviews of Harry at this article.
So glad he saw the Phillies win the World Series again.
