Yesterday afternoon, a Philadelphia baseball icon Harry Kalas died, shortly after collapsing inside the team's broadcast booth at Nationals Park. He was 73 years old. 
 
Kalas, like many of his predecessors, Johnny Most (Boston Celtics), Chick Hern (Los Angles Lakers) was a Hall of Fame voice. He was inducted into the broadcaster's wing of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 2002, having won the Ford C. Frick Award, which is presented to broadcasters who made major contributions to baseball.  
 
He not only was the voice of summer for Phillies fans; however his rich baritone reached much further. He was also the voice for NFL Films.

"Major League Baseball has lost one of the great voices of our generation," Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "Harry Kalas was an outstanding ambassador for the game.

I bring this up, because here was a man who absolutely loved his job, and died doing what he loved best, albeit at a relatively young age.

What does this have to do with debt reduction? Really not a whole lot. However as Christians, we believe that Harry is really enjoying the next phase of his life right now. Our prayers go out for his family and friends, as he will be missed.
