Born Harry Norbert Kalas on March 26, 1936 in Naperville, IL, "Harry the K" served as the voice of the Philadelphia Phillies from 1971 through the beginning fo the 2009 season. He passed away with his boots on, in the broadcast booth, before a game against the Nationals on April 13th, 2009 in Washignton D.C. This letterbox is a small tribute to Harry.

As of now, I'm at a loss as to how to get this stamp to the public. It's too large of a stamp to place in the stadium like the "Rollins' Repeat" series. Until I come up with a better system, I will have the stamp available at the following games:

Tuesday, May 12
Saturday, June 13
Sunday, June 14
Monday, July 20
Wednesday, August 19
Saturday, April 12

I will post my section and row #s later today (May 11th) You can get the stamp from me at that location during the 3rd and 7th innings of those games. You can try other times but I may be on a beer or $1 dog run! Figure out a way to get my attention. I'll also try to be available 15 minutes prior to the scheduled game, out by the statue of Mike Schmidt. I'll have the stamp in hand. I will likely be going to other games but these are the only ones I have tickets for at this time. Check back for updates. I'll also post updates to the lbma board on yahoo. In case I forget, bring an ink pad. I would suggest black.

I'm considering making it available as a postal letterbox once the season ends, to make it available to Phillies fans that can't get to the park this season.
