You know what? After the way the Phillies played this week, no one deserves to be named Phillie of the Week. Instead, I'm giving it to another Philadelphia broadcasting legend that passed away well before his time:
Gary Papa
Like Harry Kalas, I could always count on Gary being there on Action News at six. I'll never forget the time I actually met him in Canton at the NFL Hall of Fame when the Eagles were playing out there. My buddy got put in front of a camera and basically cut an early 1990s wrestling promo about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl while I danced in the background. It was the first time I ever saw Gary Papa at a loss for words.
RIP Gary...you were one of the good guys.
