"What a comeback by this fightin' bunch of Phils!" Delivered as only the late, great Harry Kalas could. He's been gone over a decade, and I still miss hearing him call Phillies games.
Tom McCarthy has done a really good job as Phillies announcer since he took over , but the reality is there will never be a great broadcaster in Phillies history like Harry kalas. NEVER
I get goosebumps every time I hear Harry the K. He was so special, no one has nor will call a Phils game better. I miss him more & more but thankful to have been around to listen to the genuine joy he brought to every game!
Anytime I get to hear Harry and/or Whitey is a good time. I am so proud and happy for the time that we had Jim Thome, not only one of the greatest sluggers of all time, but a true class act and genuine good person.
Yes indeed. I wish the Phillies had Thome longer were it not for Ryan Howard. What we learned since then is that Jim Thome was the Hall of Fame player and Ryan Howard (although spectacular for a few seasons) was ultimately not. The Phillies should have kept Thome and traded Ryan Howard.
Andy Musser’s call of Schmidt’s tie-breaking home run in Montreal IS a classic! The best modern call of a significant event in a Phillies game. It was awesome! 💯
Yes, it was. I was so glad for Andy. He took a back seat to Harry/Whitey (who were so very great) but his call on Schmidt's HR was absolutely spot-on perfect..Short and memorable: "He buried it! He buried it!"
How could I forget that one! Andy at his best! I was listening to the game on my 9 volt AM transistor radio. I was at the Spectrum attending a Blue Oyster Cult concert that almost didn't go to because this game was still going on.
Watching these great Phillies highlights.. I'm sitting here smiling... and to hear Harry Kalas say.. a tremendous home run Jim Thome.. no one can say it like Harry!!
Fun Fact: Manny Trillo's triple put the Phils up 7-5. The Astros tied the game in the bottom of the 9th and the Phils ended up winning in 10. Best LCS in baseball history bar none.
This may be my favorite of your videos. From Musser's call ("He buried it!") to Nino Espinosa's hair to "Nobody knows Von Hayes" - stellar work all around. I miss baseball.
Jimmy's 20th triple was so awesome. But I'll never forget watching Doc throw the perfect game. I was a freshman in college watching the game on like a 15" TV. Legit screamed my so loud everyone thought there was a fire in my room lol
Alexander G Russo I was in Philly for my bachelor party, which began at Chickie and Pete’s. Also was Gm 1 of Cup finals for the Flyers. What a scene! Marriage didn’t work but that was a great night ending at Delilah’s!
Michael Jack Schmidt’s 500th jack is left off this? That may be one best calls from Harry Kalas: “ Here’s the stretch by Robinson. The 3-0 pitch ... swing and a long drive! There it is! Number 500! The career 500th homerun for Michael Jack Schmidt and the Phillies have regained the lead in Pittsburgh, 8 to 6 ...” Epic. I will never forget it.
I grew up listening to Harry K., Whitey, and Andy Musser on the radio and T.V. I was at the Vet to see Game 6 (1980). I remember sitting on the edge of my seat through the NLCS series that year as the broadcast team orchestrated an emotional rollercoaster. Growing up, I did not know that not every kid in the world was so blessed to have been given the magic living baseball with such a grand accompaniment. Magnificent.
I’m surprised the last out of Jim Bunning’s 1964 perfect game isn’t on this list (and that’s really saying something coming from a die-hard Mets fan). Mike Schmidt’s 500th career home run (a game-winner in Pittsburgh) was also omitted, that happened on my 17th birthday in 1987.
The sound of Harry’s voice takes me back to my days as a youth running around during the summer months as the folks sat out front and listened to the Phillies on the transistor drinking cold PBR’s or Schaefers. Ahh simpler times. Harry was a treasurer.
Great Job of compiling a few of the many highlights of Phillies baseball! The clip at the end was hilarious! You don't know who Mike Schmidt is? Dude.. nobody knows who Von Hayes is! 5 for 1...
Mike Schmidt was a beast by today's standards. Schmidt's #1 in my book as the greatest Phillie ever. As for Jim Thome, who knows what could have been had he remained a Phillie? Ryan Howard was amazing for the 2008 Phillies as well. It's tough when you have two great first-basemen at the same time who can't play any other position. Had there been a DH in the NL in 2006, Thome could have been the DH while Howard played 1B or vice versa. What a lineup that would have been!
Rollins *WILLED* that triple to happen!!! I would have liked to see Aaron Rowand in there as well, jus' sayin'. And please correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't see any highlights featuring The Bull - one of the most beloved players of the seventies...
Not much on the announcing but Bruntlett's unassited triple play was a thing of beauty. If the mets weren't greedy and runners hadn't been going, they'd at least have scored one possibly two to tie the game.
Missing.. Schmidt's 500th home run call, Bob Dernier's walk off inside the park home run. Honestly, Harry and Richie doing an ordinary game beats the others greatest calls...
Why did Andy Musser call the Schmidt homerun in Montreal? If that was late in the game, shouldn't that be Harry Kalas? Great call by Musser though, he nailed it. One of my friends saw Musser out in public in the 80's and said that his wife was drop dead gorgeous. Lol 😋
Musser’s radio call was the more epic call with the “he buried it”. Harry Kalas was on TV, channel 17 for that inning. I remember leaving my grandparents house just before Rose led off and hearing the home run in the car on the radio.
@@bobflorich5348 I remember hearing the radio call. I was on my way to a high school dance(the game was supposed to be an early afternoon game that didn't get started until about 5pm) and heard the call. We all freaked out in the car.
I was in Perry Georgia driving around in my AMC Hornet trying to get reception all the way from 1210 am Philly. Lots of static, but Musser's epic call rang through. I'll never forget it.
"A Very Sunny Christmas" -- season 6, episode 13 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," originally direct-to-DVD in 2009 but finally aired on December 16, 2010.
These two compilations were enjoyable, and I like that you found some obscure games too. But the best Harry Kalas call IMO is Bob Dernier's Inside the Park HR, because it totally came out of nowhere. th-cam.com/video/Usqq9HYsMVE/w-d-xo.html
Rollins 09 nlds vs dodgers, Rollins hits one to the gap, they're gonna wave Ruiz and the Phillies win it in the 9th... Better be here. The crowd will tell ya what happens, 1980 last pitch.there it is #500..., Cliff Lee hamels Howard Utley, Aaron rowands catch, 93 postseason highlights, 441 am Mitch Williams wins the game in the 44th inning lol... And so on
1:25 As great a call as that was, the Astros came back and tied it at the bottom of the inning in this crazy game and series. Thankfully, Del Unser and Garry Maddox hit back to back doubles to finally put the game away in the 10th.
All the undeserved grief Philly fans get from others about us not winning anything, being a loser city, etc.? Show 'em this. And then, if they still give us grief, you have several other videos like this one... DeSean Jackson's punt return... Flyers comeback from 3-0 vs. Boston... Super Bowl 52... Matt Stairs HR that *still* hasn't landed... etc.

This was his best call
Harry sounds camp and old-fashioned now to me, but still awesome like an old Nintendo
Always liked how the 80 Phillies broadcasts featured Mego’s disco version of the Star Wars theme.

He’d drop “tremendous” into some of Howard’s too. Always found the right time to say it.
The energy he just put into each call, Harry was special.
Always makes my day when I hear Whitey and Harry calling some of my Happiest Phillies Memories. And who can ever forget 5 for 1 Hayes...😂

Goosebumps
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY. Will ever be better on the mic than HK.
Yup....hard to explain to anyone who's not a Phils fan
This may be my favorite of your videos. From Musser's call ("He buried it!") to Nino Espinosa's hair to "Nobody knows Von Hayes" - stellar work all around. I miss baseball.
Harry kalas missed so much !!
Love hearing some of Harry's calls

@@kyleg8098
5:06 I was at work with this game on the radio, it was so tense waiting for that final out not being able to see it. Sweet call by Franske
“Nobody knows who Von Hayes is. Relax!”
Jim Thome hit some of the most majestic bombs, the sound off the bat....just wow

Epic. I will never forget it.
I'm pretty sure that one is in Vol. 1, with Harry's epic call: "There it is!"
George Vukovich with the only walkoff homer in Phillies playoff history.

You and me, both. You never know what a good thing you have until it's gone.
Tucking the always sunny scene at the end….beautiful
Awesome compilation! Thank you!
You can be forgiven for throwing Jon Miller in there. Great video as always!
what's wrong with Miller, I think he's great, I'd much prefer him on Sunday night baseball over Vasgersian and A-rod
@@NothingifnotInconsistent I liked Jon Miller, don't know why they got rid of him and Joe Morgan
"Headin' for the new ballpark...". Great call!
Jon Miller one of the very best ⚾️🎙
@@wmw3629 Miller is one of the greats. But I don't associate him with the Phillies.

THIS CLUB JUST DOES NOT DIE

I remember that Schmidt Montreal shot. Number 48 for him that year. He was playing with a 101 fever.
Great Job of compiling a few of the many highlights of Phillies baseball!
The clip at the end was hilarious! You don't know who Mike Schmidt is? Dude.. nobody knows who Von Hayes is!
5 for 1...
We had the force that year. Won it all. We had the force in 08. We had it in 93 and 22, 23 but lost, we will keep it in 24

8:01 so weird to see Burrell go opposite field
Only gripe I have is, you shoulda put the info at the bottom, like game 4 1982 NLCS . George vukovitch
Missing.. Schmidt's 500th home run call, Bob Dernier's walk off inside the park home run. Honestly, Harry and Richie doing an ordinary game beats the others greatest calls...
Fighting Phil's are best team ever

Watch Bobby!
tremendous home-runs , without all the home plate show boating and look-at-me antics of todays players...amazing.
They should have stuck with Scott Graham instead of switching to McCarthy.
Rollins 09 nlds vs dodgers, Rollins hits one to the gap, they're gonna wave Ruiz and the Phillies win it in the 9th... Better be here.

And so on
No Roy Halladay Game 1 No-Hitter?
Personally I think Tom McCarthy’s call on Roy‘s Perfect game was better
1:25 As great a call as that was, the Astros came back and tied it at the bottom of the inning in this crazy game and series. Thankfully, Del Unser and Garry Maddox hit back to back doubles to finally put the game away in the 10th.
Who was #13 Wendell at 1:50 ?
Turk Wendell. Would brush his teeth with black licorice. Decent pitcher.
@@MWHowe That's not him. Why would a 13 year old from Massachusetts be in the Phillies dugout in Houston?
@@peteharwan553 wait your right. Yeah, way off
Batboy
Wendell won some kind of contest to be the batboy ..theres some article about Who was that Wendell Guy? on the internet
I have a Von Hayes signed bat if anyone cares. :D
I care
