The Jaunt considers the many promotions and giveaways at sporting events throughout the season, and hand-picks the best of the week.

MLB – Philadelphia Phillies – Citizens Bank Park
Friday, August 7 vs Florida Marlins, 7:35 p.m.

- Harry Kalas Wall of Fame Print (all fans)

Not many Philadelphia sports personalities — if any — are held in such high regard than the late Phillies announcer, Harry Kalas.  As such, the organization has done a wonderful job in honoring the voice of the Phils and will continue that recognition this week during the team’s Wall of Fame ceremony.

The late Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas will be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame posthumously during a special pre-game ceremony. Among those in attendance: Kalas’ sons Todd, Brad and Kane, as well as returning Wall of Famers Robin Roberts, Senator Jim Bunning, Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, Dick Allen, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Tony Taylor, Bob Boone, Dallas Green and Juan Samuel…

This will surely be a highly-emotional event for all involved.  Go here for further details and ceremony start time.
