I'd really like to go to the Charlie bobblehead game ... might have to see if I can scrape up some tickets.

You can send them to me if you want, Christine. I can probably get them to go.

Maryanne, how's about this ... we pick a date, get as many of us together for a game as possible, and spend a few...

:ditto:

:ditto:

:ditto:

With an added footnote that Victorino was a mess. He cried nearly the entire time. He's an emotional guy. I love that about him.

You should, Christine. It's...

Wish I had known ... we could have hoisted a beer in Harry's honor, Maryanne.

And don't feel bad about being a sobbing mess. I was listening to the ceremony in the car and when they started with...

Awesome ... this is awesome ... they're using the soundtrack from Field of Dreams (Harry's favorite sports film of all time) for this presentation ...

I'm just STREAMING with tears ... Bridge...

I wish we could, Maryanne, but we're going to the game tonight and can't head down now for the memorial, head back home, then head down a couple hours later for the game.

I wish we could go, but...

That's awesome! :thumbsup:

I'd still love to see them incorporate "High Hopes" as a full-time part of their home games. Either as an 8th inning tradition (like Sweet Caroline for the Sox) or...

Huh ... I swore I saw them laying out the rings for some of the broadcasters and FO types, but maybe I'm wrong. I missed the very, very first part of the ceremony (watched it on T.V. from...

You know I was thinking ... not that there's really ever a "good" way to go, but if you could write an ideal script for Harry's exit I'm not sure you could do a better job than the way it went down....

I'm virtually certain that's what was going through Pat's mind, as well.

Honestly, after seeing Pat's demeanor at the ring ceremony game the other day, I really don't think he's doing all that...

Jesus, Maryanne ... just when I was feeling a bit better I read your letter and it got me going all over again.

I think what touched me the most about it was that I could have written it myself....

I actually started a Facebook group encouraging fans to petition the Phils to rename Citizen Bank Way to Kalas Blvd.

I think that's the level of tribute Harry warranted.

I kinda somehow knew you'd be the first one to respond, Maryanne ... I also knew you'd understand ...

I don't know how we move on. I mean growing up for me it was always Harry, Merrill, Gene,...

Honestly, I feel a little foolish, but I spent a good portion of my drive in today fighting back tears. All of the radio stations in the city were (obviously) doing tributes to Harry and just hearing...

How fitting, I think, that Harry should pass in the place he loved the most ... the announcer's booth.

The only way it could have been more appropriate was if he was at Citizen's Bank Park and...

This is just unfathomable. I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss him ... which sounds absurd, because I've never met the man but it's true. I'll miss him terribly. I felt the same way when Gene...
