Harry Calls It, Wheels Celebrates It

I know this video has been on other blogs, but I've got to post it because I love Harry's call and Wheels' reaction. I love it because I'm guessing Wheels didn't want to shout over Harry, but he also had to celebrate. So he pumped his arms over and over and over again.

That's the most enthused for the Phils I've ever seen Wheels. I guess Jose Reyes wasn't around to slobber over. Still, I'd MUCH rather have him than "Mrs. Manny Ramirez", Joe Buck and Tim "Did you know Lidge hasn'e blown a save yet?" McCarver. Gotta love Harry K. I hear criticism about being old or forgetting names, etc... But the man is a HOF'er. There is no substitute for that voice. So glad I got tix to the Linc today. Anybody know if actual people will be there, or just a video of what's happening across the street?

According to everything I have read, it will be the whole team. They go to the Bank first and then over to the Linc. And this video is great!! Wheels looks like just a big kid as he celebrates!!

Buck had a good comment about Kalas... He said something to the effect of, "if I had that voice, I'd talk to myself all the time just so I could hear it", or something like that.

I think I still hear Buck and McCarver talking about David Price. "David Price is warming up in the bullpen." "I would think Maddon would bring David Price in here." "David Price, the Rays rookie phenom, is warming in the bullpen." "David Price begind to warm up, IN EARNEST, in the bullpen." "I'm surprised Maddon is sticking with Howell here and not bringing in David Price." "David Price will be a tremendous starter for the Rays next year." "They'll likely bring in David Price to deal with Utley and Howard." "Man, we just love David Price."

I'll say this abotu Wheels... he was professional all the way, not wanting to go down in history as the guy who shouted over Harry's World Championship call!

Buck the worst mccarver whom I've always respected for his knowledge also fell under spell of Buck.Living in New York but born and raised in S.philly it didn't become real till I heard harry kalas' call of last pitch and then warm feeling all over .Too bad Ritchie didn't live to see this 1 him and Harry will along with Merill Reese Dave Zinkoff and Gene hart will always be the sounds of Philly
