Phillies Honor Harry Kalas After Clinching NL East


The best part of the night wasn't even the Phillies winning their third straight division title. No, that was sweet, but the best part was what happened afterwords. The Phillies ran out to left field and paid tribute to Harry Kalas by celebrating with his banner. It was an amazing moment to see, especially for anyone who listened to Harry, and would have loved to have heard him call this game tonight. I don't think there's anyone out there that can say anything bad about this team after seeing something like that.

Jimmy Rollins even went and took it a step further. Todd Zolecki quoted Rollins after the game on Twitter, as he said, “We get to Broad Street again, you’ll see HK’s jacket and shoes on my back and feet. There is no doubt ... I will be rocking it.”

Jimmy, you and the boys get another parade, and I'll be there to celebrate again. You guys are the best.
