Phils Hall of Fame broadcaster Kalas dies
While preparing for a game between the Phillies and Washington Nationals, Kalas collapsed in the press box and was rushed to the hospital. A cause of death has not been announced.
Known for his deep baritone, signature home run call ("Outta here!") and for singing "High Hopes" in celebration, Kalas began broadcasting Phillies' games in 1971. He also served as the voice-over narrator for NFL Films.
Across Twitter, fans paid their respects to the broadcast legend.
