Seems like he would pull a chair up next to ya at a bar or restaurant. And talk baseball all night. That said... Kalas is a legend.

The Phils lost game 1 and game 2 began after midnight. This hit happened at about 4am. I was a bread delivery driver at the time and was starting my route when this game finally ended. The Phils didn't have anyone left so Mitch Williams had to hit for himself.

The player who had the greatest amount of impact in the shortest amount of time to that franchise has to be Roy Halladay. Two no hitters in one season, and the only other postseason no-hitter ever thrown. The man was very clutch. It was Roy who was on the mound when the Phillies clinched the 2010 division title. And he was on the mound in the 9th inning finishing that game with a freaking shutout if I remember right. Roy is one of two men that I've known to play five seasons or fewer for a franchise, and get his number retired by that franchise. Nolan Ryan is the other.
