Philly native Kevin Negandhi’s internship with Phillies broadcast legend Harry Kalas helped kickstart his journey to becoming a host on ESPN’s SportsCenter.

The in-booth chemistry between late great Phillies broadcast legends Harry Kalas and Richie “Whitey” Ashburn was simply something just so unique.

“You just can’t create that in a laboratory; it’s either there or it’s not and and they had it,” described Ray Didinger with Glen Macnow Saturday afternoon on SportsRadio 94 WIP.

And, ESPN SportsCenter sports anchor host Kevin Negandhi, who grew up in the area, just so happened to get an up-close and personal look at the duo while as a 19-year-old Temple University student intern in the fall semester under Kalas.
