On April 13, 2009, both Harry Kalas, the legendary Philadelphia Phillies announcer, and Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, a former pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, passed away.
Kalas was sitting in the broadcasting booth in Washington a few hours before the Philly-Nationals game, when he passed out. He died at 12:30 PM. He was 73 years old.
Fidrych was apparently working on his pick-up truck when his neighbor found him dead, underneath the truck. He died 2:30 PM. He was 54.

But it's not easy to watch a game and not hear his voice

Great song choice. I lived in the same town where Mark Fidrych grew and tragiclly died. I never met him, though I knew many people who did. He was described as a very funny, outgoing, and caring man. His un-timely death definetly put a somber tone on the town, and he will be missed here.
