Somber Saturday
I've been at the park for a little more than 90 minutes (it's almost noon) and the procession hasn't stopped.
I heard one person say 4,500 people have already passed through the turnstiles this morning to honor the late, great Harry Kalas. Men, women and children alike are stepping up to Kalas' casket, located just beyond home plate, and touching the ivy-colored final resting place for the beloved broadcaster.
I tried posting photos I've taken with my iPhone in the last 24 hours, but the blog system we use is being temperamental and not letting me post pictures.

I think the thing I miss most about Harry is his tight focus on the game. With Harry, you never missed a pitch. Most other baseball commentators treat pitches as if they were just filler while waiting for the big plays, and chit chat between hits. In fact, many of them even ignore the hits. Not Harry: He called every strike and every ball, even told you why it was a ball (high/low/inside/outside). I miss that already. The remaining broadcasters are talking all over the game. Admittedly, they're mostly talking about Harry, which is nice to hear, but I'm hoping they'll settle down a bit soon.
