A vigil for Harry

The Phillies have announced they will hold a public memorial service for legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas on Saturday.

Kalas’ family indicated the funeral and burial, to be held next week, will be private.

Fans will be able to take part in the memorial service Saturday at Citizens Bank Park. Fans can pay their respects from 8 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on a first-come, first-serve basis. There also will be a special tribute at 1 p.m. The Phils will play the Padres later Saturday night.
The team also announced they will play the rest of the season with a special black HK patch on their uniforms to honor the voice of the Phillies.

Here’s what I want to know. How many people do you think will camp overnight at the stadium Friday night, a vigil to the single voice that meant baseball in the Delaware Valley.
