August 5, 2008: Kalas Gives Wife Stirring Description of Dream
Legendary Phillies announcer Harry Kalas yesterday gave his wife a stirring description of a bizarre dream that he had experienced the night before. "I was fixing breakfast, and Harry came down in his robe and said, 'Boy, did I ever have the weeerdest dream last night!' " said Eileen Kalas from the family's home in Media. "I turned off the stove and sat right down, because with Harry, everything sounds good."
 "That dream really was am-aaazinng," recalled the beloved Hall-of-Famer. "I was in my car, even though it was reeally not a car, but more like... a ham saand-wiiiich! I was driving the saand-wiich, I turn–and Jim-my Roll-ins is sitting next to me in an Exx-pooos uuuniform... with the legs of the Phanaaatiic! I said, 'Watch this baby, J-Roll!'–and I began to eat the car... starting with the slice of to-matooo I was sitting onnnn!"
As expected, Eileen Kalas found the dream to be highly captivating. "Anybody else, if they were telling me a dream like that, I'd stop paying attention almost immediately," she said, smiling. "But with him telling it, the whole thing was so exciting! Especially when he said, 'Then, the sandwich dis-appeeeered–and I was in high schooool... with a nun costume on... and Wheels, spanking me with a ruuu-lerrrrr!'"
"The whole thing was just so strange," said Harry Kalas. "I don't know why Wheels was there–or why I started winnnd-surrrfing through pudding after that! At that point, I said to myself, 'I gotta... get... outta heeeeere!' And then I woke up!" |
