Phillies Announcer Harry Kalas Has Passed Away

[Howard Glazer]

Didn't John Facenda, the original voice of NFL Films, intone the "frozen
tundra" phrase, not Kalas?

Tonight on the Red Sox radio network, Joe Castiglione mentioned that his son
Duke asked Kalas to
do an answering machine outgoing message for him. "Sure," Kalas said; "do
you want my baseball
voice or my football voice?" Duke Castiglione said, "Football."

So Kalas recorded a message saying, "Duke is not here right now; he's in the
frozen tundra
of Lambeau Field awaiting the arrival of the Green Bay Packers..." in that
famed NFL Films voice...
