"Call me crazy, but I want to buy the Dallas Cowboys end zone and have the star right at the foot of my bed. That way when I score, I can spike the ball right on the star!" -Woody Paige, Around the Horn 10.9.08

Phillies announcer Harry Kalas dead at 73 - Sports - News & Observer
"The Bird's" pro. debut was with Bristol in 1974... he was 3-0 as a reliever.
And now the baseball world can go back into mourning. Lost a fine young, upcoming player and now two legends. Kalas' voice will be sorely missed by all who have heard it.
Looking for my Darcy, but finding only Wickham. Right now, I'd settle for Bingley.
