Politicians React to Death of Harry Kalas

We've already received several statements from elected officials about the death of famed Phillies announcer Harry Kalas. Here's what they have to say:

Sen. Arlen Specter: "As the voice of the Philadelphia Phillies, Harry Kalas was everyone's friend in this region. His incisive commentaries will be sorely missed."

Gov. Ed Rendell: “I am shocked and saddened by Harry’s untimely and unexpected passing. He was a Philadelphia institution who made the game for countless fans. The entire professional baseball family is the less with his loss, and I offer my sincere condolences to the Kalas family.”

    I will be at the Phillies first home game on Friday since this horrible event. It is going to be a sad game.

    Harry will be missed tremendously. He was "Philly" through and through. I am so happy that he lived to see the Phillies win the World Series.

    I can remember watching and listening to Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, and Andy Musser when I was growing up in Philly. They were good times. It's going to be hard to listen and watch now. RIP H. K.
