It's Been Almost a Year Since Harry Died

Share

The Inquirer's Frank Fitzpatrick has an article today talking about the passing of Harry the K which happened almost a year ago in DC where the Phillies are playing this week. It's all pretty sad, but the article makes the valid point that coming back to DC brings all of the memories of that day back.

I was getting off the metro at the ball park stop after a few pops at a bar near Chinatown. My phone buzzed in my pocket as it first connected with the cell towers as I rode the escalator up. Then, as I stood among hoards of fans walking towards the park, I read the sad news on my phone. It felt like nobody else around knew. They were all still smiling and excited for a day of baseball. Slowly, news started to spread, and the mood began to change. It was eerie. A truly sad day for baseball fans.

We miss you, Harry.
