Longtime Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, 73, died on Monday afternoon in Washington, DC, shortly after being rushed by ambulance to George Washington University Hospital.
Phillies' president David Montgomery says Kalas was found after passing out in the broadcast booth, on the seventh level of Nationals Stadium, about 12:30pm, just a couple of hours before Monday's scheduled 3pm game against the Nationals.
Even before the seriousness of Kalas' condition was known, Montgomery said he thinks "it's serious." Afterward, Montgomery (below right) expressed the condolences of the entire team:
"We lost our voice today. He loves our game and made a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization. Right now our focus is with Eileen, (sons) Kane, Todd, Brad, and to support them as much as we can."
