Harry Kalas Throws Out First Pitch on April 8, 2009

On April 8, 2009, the Philadelphia Phillies, the 2008 World Champions of baseball, honored their longtime Hall of Fame broadcaster, the legendary Harry Kalas, by having him throw out the first pitch before a game against the Atlanta Braves. Kalas' pitch was part of the pre-game ceremony in which the Phillies received their 2008 World Series Championship Rings. Unknown at the time, the ceremony would be part of Kalas's last home game.
