RIP Harry Kalas - Michael Barkann Reaction

[MrKingicicle]

the dumb people who disliked this video is a ass

[mdh1961]

Wow. Michael Barkann just summed it up. Burgers on the grill, kids in the pool, sea-gulls on the jersey shore and HK calling the game. I just teared up a bit. Go Phils!!!!!!

[dgoifdjhgofdj]

to JGordon24Phillies: it is a true shame your a worthless human being who will amount to nothing... you cannot even type full words. I am truly sorry for your parents. Please go to your nearest bridge and jump the fuck off.

Sincerely, no one gives a fuck about your attempt to get a reaction.

[MrCoolTre]

@JGordon24Phillies I was on a subway going to the game in Washington!

[doodletrish13]

Voice of the phillies, and overall great guy. He was always walking around the ballpark chatting with fans before games. The phillies lost their voice when Harry passed away.. he's still deeply missed. His statue will be unveiled at CBP this Tuesday.

[uhernandez55]

His death came a year before Mariners analyst Dave Niehaus died, wasn't it?

[JGordon24Phillies]

I will NEVER forget where I was when I found out Harry Kalas died. It was about 2:30 and I had just gotten home from school to watch the Phillies game which started at 3ish that day. I turned on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia to see the pre-game show and the headline was that Harry had died. I was shocked and deeply saddened. I had baseball that night and I'm not a power hitter, I'm fast and can make good contact but on that night I blasted a home run for Harry. R.I.P Harry Kalas

[swoop17100]

I lost it as well. I miss Harry the K. He was the voice that I heard for only certain times. Phillies baseball is never going to be what it was without Harry Kalas.

[TheUrboy1991]

harry, you're calling the game with with richie ashburn in heaven for god and his angels and all phillies players and fans that have passed away, they have the chance to hear the voice that made our summers what they were!

[fruticetum]

I hated the Phillies when I was a teen in the 70s because I was a Pirates fan. But at the same time I admired them, and I always liked Calas. He always spoke respectfully of the Pirates. I really admired Steve Carlton too. He was so mysterious and so good.

[IRAMITLA]

Wow, Barkann has really gotten fat in the past 2 years. Just watching him on DNL and his neck is twice the size. Whats up with that?

[SwiftOnSports]

To me, this was the moment that I really recognized Michael Barkann as one of us. I'd always enjoyed Barkann, but this moment, when you could see how HK's death affected him in the same manner it affected us, just solidified him as all Philadelphian to me.

[joeafar]

Harry will always be the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be......Always missed!

[2332myke]

what a class act i teared up just watchin him almost loose it you have to be from philly to know how it feels to loose him ! RIP MR HARRY KALAS!!!!! YOU WILL BE MISSED !!!

[psubsb12]

Wow. What a piece of shit. You must be proud of yourself with that comment.

[JGordon24Phillies]

lol hes dead haha he sucked and deserved 2 die

[MyRapErik]

@JGordon24Phillies Whats your problem? It doesn't matter what team he routed for or how he was he was a good man and deserves RESPECT! You must be a gutless coward who has nothing better to do then hate on others.

[sourcemodscripter]

@JGordon24Phillies lol you are about to fucking die and you sucked and you deserve to die.

Love Harry Kalas

[chazzledazzle13]

@JGordon24Phillies u just do this to get fucking attention u r a virus who must be destroyed

[psu68born]

that day just FUCKIN SUCKED,, ABSOLUTLEY SUCKED IM A YANKEES FAN AND that scum bag that said he is glad hes dead fuck you

[bsett97]

I LOVE YOU HARRY

[tps988]

goddammit i miss you harry.

[7475flyersfan]

very fitting they won the year before

[MrExtraMedium]

Barkann you are the man

[knuckles1313]

how barkann didnt lose it i will never know

[psubsb12]

@knuckles1313 Eh, he kinda did. You could see he was holding back tears and did tear up. You're right, he didn't lose it, but I imagine he was crying before and between the broadcast and commercials and he's definitely a professional.

The Andersen interview/vid (w/ my other videos) is just depressing as hell to watch.

I interviewed LA and Franzke for stories for the paper when Kalas passed and then again one year later...For the initial LA interview, he was an emotional wreck on the phone.

[xxguitarhero48xx]

@knuckles1313 I sure did... I saw this live

[rtclayton86]

@knuckles1313 same. i was a wreck, and i don't cry often at all. and i've never even met harry.

[bleedorange2332]

who the fuck disliked this video

[psubsb12]

@bleedorange2332 Some moron. There was another dislike before as well, I believe. Some Yankees fan also commented about being glad he's dead and something else terrible, but that was a year ago and it has since been deleted.

[rtclayton86]

i still to this day don't know how Barkann held it together. i was watching this broadcast and i just lost it.

[ThePhilly91]

i dont cry but im a huge phillies fan and every time i see harry kalas i wanna break down. we all miss you harry

[cupcakeandme1]

I was born and raised in Philly. I love the Phillys & Harry...I miss Harry soooo much!



[jHBF2638]

First of all, I wanna know who in the hellll 'disliked' this video! But RIP Harry, we still miss you, everyy game man.

[Larm2112]

Thank You Harry, Rest In Peace

[SpiderJason02]

r.i.p  harry kalas

[luiscintron311]

i would give anything to have heard HK call halladays no hitter. yu kno he would be halladays biggest fan.

[thedude19766]

@luiscintron311 he called it in heaven

[EastCoastDude99]

@luiscintron311,  true I can hear Harry say Rooooy DOC Halladaaay (the way he used to say Micki Morandini)

[kshtigers11]

Hk best ever and will never b forgotten I missed listening to him the past 2 summers

[TehKarmaPolice]

Rest in peace Harry. You will never be forgotten.

[celtic33pride]

couldn't have said it better

[YargDisease]

Can someone please if anyone knows tell me where Harry's final resting place is? I am going for the 2nd anniversary to leave My hat from 2008 and talk to Harry for a bit.

Please, Let me know.

[TheUltimatePhillyFan]

@YargDisease i think its somewhere near his hometown but im not sure where... sorry

[YargDisease]

@TheUltimatePhillyFan I know its in Middle town....i had a drink with him In media in early 08....He said he lived nearby. But there are about 40 cemeteries there.

[TheUltimatePhillyFan]

@YargDisease just search each one and something shoulf come up like famous people who are buried there or something

[mm102908]

@YargDisease Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.

[YargDisease]

@mm102908 Thank you.

[stevephil10]

Lost part of my childhood...will always love Harry

[SharpieMarker21]

Harry Kalas was the best. nobody can replace him, saddest day of my life so far that i remember

[iTaLiaNB0Y1]

sorry gdtimay i meant to like your post : )

[TheUltimatePhillyFan]

i remember when i was flipping channels cause i was so shocked and i saw WGN a cubs game getting under way and they were honoring harry kalas by giving him a moment of silence

[jc4eeee]

I never understood why people cried when roberto clemente died, i found out why when harry the k passed away, rest in piece harry

[zbbritt]

@psubsb12 thank you for this video. He was such a great man

[zbbritt]

u made a great video. thank you for this

[theontherise]

Go Harry and much respect to Micheal Barkann

[IAMCK74]

I still miss him.

[patriotpride16t]

I got alot of respect for Michael Barkann. He said what every Phillies/Harry Kalas "phan" felt.

[zbbritt]

@patriotpride16t really agree here

[scrapplecheesesteak]

Still miss him

[mld7415]

Michael Barkann looked like he was going to cry. RIP Harry, you will be missed.

[IFuckBoysNotGirls]

Everytime I hear his call to the Phillies worldseries win I get chills.

[JimothyEmoWhale]

Thank you, Harry! R.I.P.!

[gfscarface13]

We miss Chick Hearn here in Lakers land too. I know how it feels.

And I was just talking about the reporter that Im sure he literally cried when the Yankees took the phillies World Title away from them.

[TheEaglesphils17]

[gfscarface13]

Philles Suck hahaha

Dodgers will win the 2010 World Series. They wont Choke like the Philadelphia Eagles.

[zfallball5]

[jstevenson234]

Barkann was never better

[hypnotismofcw]

[PhillySports11]

Harry was the best how can u even compare to anyone else

[gdtimay]

i love philadelphia and i love harry kalas

[YankeesOWNBoston]

Fuck You. John Sterling, Michael Kay, and Charley Steiner made WAY better calls than this dude ever did. By default, they call games for a team that has 27 Rings. Suck on that Shit Philly Scum.

[thecut21187]

those three retards can shove their dentures up each others ass. You are a sad person having to go to this video to talk shit. Also, Arod and Pettite took steroids. Also, if you gave the phillies an extra 140 million we'd smoke your overpaid pussies. Oh. btw babe ruth and joe dimmagio fucked each other in the locker room, and you are what was leaked out of ruths ass.

[thecut21187]

i hope your whole team dies :)

[johnph96]

What team?

[forallmankindtowatch]

phillies

[itzahazylife]

[phillyphan4ever]

@YankeesOWNBoston dude this man DIED! how can u live with yourself by talkin trash about a dead man?

[EnigmaticCZM]

Imma Yankees fan but man, this guy was a legend

[pricey445]

[YankeesOWNBoston]

[MsJamienicole]

[MsJamienicole]

[INSULINaddict27]

[paintballer223]

[WWEHorror]

Keep talking shit because you'll be crying when the Phils make history. 1)Repeat as World champs 2) Come back from a 3-1 deficit.

To be honest, with your stupid comment I hope you rot in hell.

[FlyersGuy3]

you need to go find a fire and go die in it, fuckin new york scum

[surfing17]

well when half your team is one steroids thats what happens. Yankees still suck dick

[thefightinphillies13]

Shut the fuck up u fucking New York scum..at least we didnt BUY our team like the yankees did..if u guys didnt have money, you wouldnt win shit...You have no fuckin buisness leaving comments on phillies vids you fucking loser...Harry was a great man you fucking piece of shit..

[philliesorca]

yankeesOWNboston, dont you EVER talk shit about HK. He was the voice of the phillies. You cold hearted bitch. You fucking dick head, you are one of those yankees bandwagon jumpers. I bet whatever team wins next year you will be a fan of, you bandwagon jumpers make me SICK

[philliesorca]

stop sexually harassing me you troll.

[YankeesOWNBoston]

Troll, haha. That's what you look like and why you're parents are ashamed of you so much. You're 15 Years Old, don't you have a Miley Cyrus party to go to and be a Middle School Slut at?

[philliesorca]

i hate miley cyrus you online pedophile

[YankeesOWNBoston]

hahahaha go die like Mary Kalas you dumb Cunt. GO YANKEES

[philliesorca]

you are seriously BURNING in hell for your immature actions. this is why yankees fans are classless assholes

[YankeesOWNBoston]

But I'm not going to Philadelphia when I die....

[JRPHILLIPS75]

I still cannot believe it...this year just was not the same....what a loss! Harry we still need you....

[GadielandTheTeeth]

[MrMister891488]

michael barkann is such a pro tho.

[airsofter21]

at least he got to see another championship brought home still not the same thought

[phillyphan4ever]

72 years young...too young :( may i say im crying at this moment

[sugarpie4200]

It still makes me cry knowing Harry is gone.  We miss him so much and the Phillies will win another World Series just for HK.

We love you Harry and we will always remember you.

[pjvalisnochannel]

[BenJabituya]

RIP Harry Kalas  4.13.2K9. Still saddens me.

[JediKnight0405]

Michael. there's no shame in showing the hometown ur pain. he did great holding it together but there comes a time when you cant. he just needed to let it go. it would have been terrible to watch but hey hes only human. RIP Harry Kalas. your voice will live on

[DonnaLee72070]

This still breaks my heart. He did great holding it together..

[TheGooners13]

we love you harry. philly legend. you will always be our voice.

[templecpa2002]

This is my first time seeing this but MB did a great job commentating the TV coverage at Harry's memorial service when it was at Citizens Bank Park. His great memories of Harry & his great impressions of Harry speaking made me laugh on an otherwise sad day. Good job.

[n1ckmsrt]

Harry is god

[Stryperfan33]

Harry Kalas is the best broadcaster in Philadelphia sports RIP Harry

[PhilySportsMan]

When i heard the news felt like i got hit by a truck and i was ready to break down and cry from how i grew up with the voice

[mvp91593]

i loved harry kalas as a hero.....i grew up to that voice.

[red03mitsu]

thanks for this - still makes me cry when i watch it.

Harry the K - you are the man and you will always be the man

[arianaalioth]

I watch M. B. alot. He's either super drunk, or trying to not sob on camera. I know I wouldn't be able to not sob on camera. RIP Harry. This summer is so incredibly....odd. Empty

[busterdog321]

come on....super drunk (ok got a chuckle) but really lol. never even thought about it, like that, maybe......nah...

[PSU24RULZ]

Michael did a great job holding on there.

[busterdog321]

0:15 - Harry we loved every second of it

[myvoicehasdied]

I still get chills up my spine hearing the Shmidt 500 call.

We will miss you forever Harry.

[nateinnewjersey]

Harrys death finally hit me the other night while watching a phils game. I grew up, honestly, missing just about no games as a kid, either on radio or on tv. I have a love of baseball that has no limits. Watching a phillies game just feels so empty anymore. Losing Harry is like losing your father. I will always love and remember harry with the greatest and fondest memories..RIP old friend.

[Diehardphillyfan418]

we did enjoy the time you were here Harry. you will never be replaced and i still have tears. the game will never be the same.

R.I.P. Harry

I love you

[littlenickyscarfo]

I HAVENT CRIED MORE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS THEN THE MOMENT THE TEAM ENTERED HARRY'S CASKET INTO THE HEARSE WITH Bridge Over Troubled Water playing

[WWEHorror]

Yes Harry we loved it while you were doing it, even moreso.

I love you Harry

[MeGaStAr522]

i was crying the whole day this happened and when ever i herar his name i cry I just want to say to evry one that reads this PLEASE PLEASE PAY TRIBUTE THO HARRY KALAS HE WAS PROBABLY THE MOST FUNNY,CHARMING, HANSOMEST ANNOUNCER EVER!!!!!! R.I.P HARRY I LOVE YOU

[bluthree]

I love Barkann. I remember watching this live. Any tears that I had been holding back really came out when seeing it.

[jjwasilewski]

i give him a lot of credit for being able to continue like that

[FlyersHockeyPride]

I never hear Barkann ever get THIS emotional, but one can CERTAINLY understand it for sure, because it was a feeling a LOT of us could understand and rightfully so! I give Mike a TON of credit for holding up as well as he did! My Phils' cap is tipped to you, Mike!

[jaredemig]

He can never be replaced

[TheSportsGuy101]

I feel you Michael Barkann, he embraced the whole feeling of the city. U will always be remembered Harry K, It's Outta Hereeeeeee
