Goodbye, Harry

The iPod Touch has an MLB app which allows me to hear the local radio broadcast of the Phillies anywhere I can pick up wi-fi.  The crapy little speakers reinforce the felling that it’s not a sleek, touch- screen ipod, but rather a transistor radio from the early 80’s.  There’s something so comforting about listening to a Phillies game on the radio  From my earliest memories I have felt that way.  But, from today forward, whether on a sleek iPod or on an old transistor radio, we will hear Harry no more.
