He announced 25 years for the Cardinals and 16 years for the Cubs. For whom was he more a fan? Obviously for a team who actually won 3 World Series during his tenure.
I don't know a thing about baseball, and this is the first time I've encountered Mr. Harry Caray - but for some reason I love this man. He's obviously spent a LOT of time hearing his voice greatly amplified. His enunciation is incredible - I rely a bit on lip-reading, so they way he speaks is like having captions on and in bold. He seems like the sort of guy who, had he lived to see 2020, could make me feel alright about how the year has gone.
Same here. I love how he took off on the interview. Fun aand loveable person. David wipes off a little sweat of his brow. Harry could've replaced him haha
Just imagine the stories that commentators like Harry Caray and Ernie Harwell could tell, the players that they have seen. I have been a lifelong Tigers fan, and a fan of Ernie Harwell...he was the voice of Michigan summers. Commentators like Caray and Harwell cannot be replaced.
I grew up listening to Harry calling the Cardinals games in St. Louis. . .Couldn't believe it when they fired him. . .At one time in the 60's the Cardinals had a fantastic announce booth consisting of Harry Caray, Jack Buck, and Joe Garagiola. . .I loved listening to all three calling a Cardinals game. . .Even when the team wasn't doing well, Harry made the game fun to listen to. . .Those were the days. . .
I'm a lifelong Cards fan (born in 82), but I grew up watching the Cubs on WGN because it was the only baseball I could watch on TV. We didn't get much Cardinals baseball on TV where I'm from. My grandpa (a Yanks fan) and I used to love listening to Harry call the ball games. I miss those days. Harry was such an awesome man.
@@brianwilliams5662 until the Cardinals dumped him at the end of the 60's. He's also a Cub fan. Either way, he's celebrating somewhere in the perly gates with a case of Budweiser.
I miss that old man every single Cubs game. Harry converted me when I was 11 years old and I'd give anything if he had gotten to see the Cubs in sweet 2016. Thanks, Harry, here's to you.
I was born in '94, a suburb North outside of Chicago, and I have been a Cubbie fan since I was taken to a Cubs game, when I was little. Sadly I didn't get to hear or see this guy in his element. But luckily I have easy access to it now. But I'm jealous for the Cub fans like you who grew up, or at least saw this guy. But something I got to share with my mom (who was born in a suburb outside of Chicago too) and fans like you. We got to see the Cubs win the World Series!
Harry is the best of them all. He called it like he saw it. If your to young I'm sorry you missed out. Not Anyone in this day and age comes close to his greatness.
Thanks so much for posting this. I watched and recorded it live in the summer of '86 but somewhere along the line (through too many moves and too many different cities/towns), I lost the recording. It's so great to hear it again!
I grew up in Chicago born in 1970 and it seems like he was always talking in the background everywhere we went. He was a character when getting his buzz on, players would be running around the bases and he wouldn't be paying attention off talking to Jim and Nancy from Wasgeegan, Wisconsin on their 50th anniversary or something besides what was happening on the field. Hilarious and classic !! Hey Hey Hey !!
God Bless Harry! He brought up Ernie Harwell first. Overlooked by the majority of the fans, outside Detroit. If you never heard Ernie, you missed a great, wonderful and knowledgeable fan.
My grandma would take me to 1 cub game a year. She adored Harry. One trip he gave her a kiss through the security fence. She never stopped talking about that the rest of her life.
Love visiting Chicago, one of my highlights was going to Wrigley and singing along with Harry Caray take me out to the ballgame, they don't make them like that anymore
I went to Carey’s restaurant in Chicago years ago. Sadly, he had already passed away. I wanted to meet him. But I was too late. The food was great however! The steak 🥩 was 2 inches thick. The biggest steak 🥩 I ever saw on a plate! I thought to myself Chicago people like to live big. This is the big city and the steaks are big, too. I’m from a smaller city. So I highly recommend his restaurant! The food and atmosphere were fantastic but he wasn’t around anymore so that was my only regret. God Bless Harry Carey! What a Character! A good man who is missed. 👏🏻😎
Love when Will did Harry, And it was right after Norm got fired and Colin was the new weekend update host, and Will proceeds to say “Hey Norm” 😂😂😂 He didn’t even have to finish what he was saying and I was on the floor laughing
True, but this time they are going to actually win the World Series. What happened to the smart ass Cleveland fan comment? I guess he quickly deleted it tonight.
AugiestyleTV A noble goal but never realized. I'll choose to delete what I find offensive, insulting, or trolling. If folks are determined to make idiots of themselves, they can do that on their channel. Not mine.
AugiestyleTV My experience tells me that that never works. I appreciate your argument, but I'll keep doing what I'm doing. It saves _me_ the grief of watching a thread deteriorate into a ridiculous pissing match. And if I can have any control stopping it, I'll exert it.
Always loved Cubs baseball and Harry was a big part of that. He was there every game. The Cubs spent a lot of time in the basement but even when they were in last place he announced the games as though they were in the series.
Will Ferrell’s caricature was just so deliciously warped. But judging by the thumbnail of this video, the real thing looks like someone I want to hug and laugh along with him.
My first time seeing harry caray, was when we first git cable tv in south ga in the 1980s. Flipping through channels i cane upon wgn and harry singing take me out to the ball game.
Me to William.. I was loving the Braves but the Cubs were definitely my second favorite thanks to cable.TBS & WGN baseball in the 80s = many fond memories!😁⚾️
I learned about this gentleman when I came here in the US , in 2004. Lived in Chicago , listening to 97.9 The Loop with Johnny B. ( his second stint with the station) and he was playing bits of audio with Harry Caray
First game back same seat next to his held steve stone, we did the stretch without him, but wanted to do it good, i remember - and that last one without him was the best and we all cried knowing its over. And we never needed a reward to tell us the joy we felt with eacother
From a phillies fan lucky enough to hear Harry Kalas call the world series in 2008, you just wish so hard that Harry Caray coulda somehow been around to call the Cubs this year. If you believe in heaven you bet the man was looking down, cheering his brains out!

Harry was a legend. He made it fun to watch even when the Cubs were losing. It wasn't all about him, he genuinely wanted the fans along for the ride.
they don't make announcers like him or vin scully anymore...
He announced 25 years for the Cardinals and 16 years for the Cubs. For whom was he more a fan? Obviously for a team who actually won 3 World Series during his tenure.
He was a great guy. He made it fun and interesting to watch baseball on TV even when the Cubs were losing.
Don't they always lose? So you're saying, he actually made it worth watching it? Like he's literally the only reason to watch right?
Harry called home runs as if he had never seen one before
The world needs more Harry Caray’s!
Growing up in Chicago, this man is a legend. May he rest in peace.
Too bad he died before the 98 season started😥😥😥 Imagine him with calling all of Sammy Sosa's home runs😃😃😃👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
What a tremendous broadcaster's voice, and a helluva regular guy.
Rest easy, Harry...
He sounds kind of like mel Allen from twib.
This is for you Harry! we won!
Your team is gutted now🥴
Wow it’s been 5 years
@@josephhale9198you’re an idiot
Harry smiling in heaven
What a great clip. "l never missed a day,.... I never missed a night either". I'd say he was fun to be around. Both Legendary.
who wouldn't want to go over the nights game w/Harry at the local pub....what a trip. Perpetual grin on his face....lovin' every minute of it.
he was just such a fun loving guy. wish he could have been here to see us finally win it all.
Amen !!!
I LOVE Harry Caray. Best broadcaster of alltime
not even close
Tom Servo Ur dumb, who’s the best then?
Bob Uecker
Vin sculy
Well scratch my back with a hacksaw
I'm a Cardinals fan from St. Louis and I wish Harry Caray would have been alive for the Cubs world series win. He was a class act.

This man was an absolute national treasure.
"If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?"
It's a simple question. I know I would. All slathered in mustard. I'd be delicous.
I love asking that question at work
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I would! I’d devour myself with ketchup, relish, and mustard. Hey! 🤣😂

Agree. We have Mr. Baseball Bob Uecker here in Milwaukee. Another legend
Caray, Harwell, Uecker, Vin Scully, Jon Miller....true artists of the broadcasting game

Cubs havent won anything since 1908. The Billy Goat Curse continues. 113 years and counting.
Haven’t you got anything more original to say anyway geez what a boring lazy thing to say.
Loved that! World needs more of this these days! I remember when WGN would broadcast a good 90% of those games! Those were the days…..
I miss that old man every single Cubs game. Harry converted me when I was 11 years old and I'd give anything if he had gotten to see the Cubs in sweet 2016. Thanks, Harry, here's to you.
Ty Don Giller for regularly posting these memorable videos

Damn I miss this guy. We love ya Harry.
This is the year!
I was born in '94, a suburb North outside of Chicago, and I have been a Cubbie fan since I was taken to a Cubs game, when I was little.

One of the reasons I became a Cubs fan in 84'.
You probably became a Cub fan in '84 because you jumped on the band wagon because they were good that year.
Harry is the best of them all. He called it like he saw it. If your to young I'm sorry you missed out. Not Anyone in this day and age comes close to his greatness.
osu22221 He’s good but still not Harry. If a star on his team messed up Harry got on his case. No one now is a aloud to bad mouth the home team.
He's smiling from heaven tonight!
"When they hired me they told me it was a temporary job".
Harry will always be an ultimate legend.
CUBS WIN CUBS WIN
Hey! Dr. If the moon was made of bbq spare ribs I would eat it. Hell, I'd even go in for seconds and then wash it down with a bud light!
I was hoping he really was like the way Will Ferrell portrayed him to be🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael Hinchey Would you eat yourself if you were a hotdog?
Legend. I grew up with Harry as the voice of my Cubbies. His legend lives on in the Windy City.

R.I.P. Harry We did it.. we won!!
Ummm...no they didn't.
bet he could see the future with those glasses...
No, but you could see a foul ball from the press box.
He may not have been able to see the future, but he could see Uranus!
"I started in 45 and Scully started in 48, so he's close."
30 years later, Scully is still in the booth for one last season.
I was reading the comments while the video was playing and my eyes literally read this posts as it was being said in the video...weird lol
I'll take Harry over Scully any day
Harry is still doing play by play in Heaven in the Field of Dreams.
Scully is amazing too
God Bless Harry! He brought up Ernie Harwell first. Overlooked by the majority of the fans, outside Detroit. If you never heard Ernie, you missed a great, wonderful and knowledgeable fan.
Well, this is simply the greatest thing ever.
He was awesome ! Still relevant today
Ohh the good ole days, wish I could go back to that era...
Will Ferrell brought me here...
Will F.was a "skinny H/C who may be abusing his diet medication..."
Linda Ham! Linda Ham! LINDA HAM!...does your name ever make ya hungry?
me
mkingms Me too.
HAY!
My grandma would take me to 1 cub game a year. She adored Harry. One trip he gave her a kiss through the security fence. She never stopped talking about that the rest of her life.
Man I wish I could go back to these days for awhile.
Growing up in St. Louis, Harry Caray was baseball. Went to bed every night listening to Harry calling the Cardinals.
Harry was right. Stan Musial was the most decent human being I've ever met.
God i miss the 7th inning stretch.. Harry was an icon...
Love visiting Chicago, one of my highlights was going to Wrigley and singing along with Harry Caray take me out to the ballgame, they don't make them like that anymore
this man is a real class act in every sense of the word. they don't make guys like this man anymore! Go Harry !!!!!
This guy was before my time but I can tell: Harry Caray was the man.
Jack Brickhouse was way better.
Such an iconic voice. It is just as much a part of the history of baseball as the baseball itself.
The Hubble Telescope was modeled after those glasses.
his signature glasses........in his old age George Burns wore the coke bottle type too.
Bro 😂😂😂
RIP, Harry,what a great person,and a legend.
Thanks for posting this! I LOVE HARRY!
Miss him and Santo, loved listening to em'.
I bet Harry was a lot of fun to go drinking with! I moved to Chicago long after he was gone. Wish I could have met him.
As a kid I remember him saying so many times: "I'm A cubs fan and a Bud man and I hope you are too." Took me a few years, but I became one:)
We did it Harry carry! This is for you! ...
Artcrazy You mean Harry Caray
We did it now...Go Cubbies
the sound of his voice takes me back to my Dad listening to him on the radio....he was the voice of baseball.
Miss this man’s voice and commentary.
I went to Carey’s restaurant in Chicago years ago. Sadly, he had already passed away.
I wanted to meet him.
But I was too late.
The food was great however! The steak 🥩 was 2 inches thick. The biggest steak 🥩 I ever saw on a plate!

What a Character!
A good man who is missed.
👏🏻😎
Will Ferrell SNL brought me here.
Me too..I had to compare..
Ha ha me too. I like the Will Ferrell version better than the original.
Love when Will did Harry, And it was right after Norm got fired and Colin was the new weekend update host, and Will proceeds to say “Hey Norm” 😂😂😂 He didn’t even have to finish what he was saying and I was on the floor laughing
They did it Harry!!!
Legendary American. Legendary Chicagoan. Just the best. An all time classic man. I love their whole generation. God bless.
Just hearing his voice is bringing back some good memories….
The fact that I ACTUALLY MET HARRY! And he was the greatest..brought me here.
Too bad he never never got to see the Cubs play in the World Series. If only he could of held on for 20 more years.
He did. Caray was born in 1914 and the Cubs played in the 1945 World Series.
True, but this time they are going to actually win the World Series. What happened to the smart ass Cleveland fan comment? I guess he quickly deleted it tonight.

Love his voice, reminds me of the good ol days of MLB 😇😇😇
what a classy beautiful man ,GOD BLESS HARRY
What great days were those. Dammit i miss these ole days.
Harry was so easy to like. Such a good man.
Thanks for this. Go Cubs Go!!!
I wish more people were aware of his stellar performances before the stroke and age took its toll.

What a joyful person. RIP Harry.
What proof do you have that he's even dead?
Hey Harry, we did it. This Bud's for you my friend.
What a beautiful man this was
made us proud.
I love Harry cary, i could listen to him & loose intrest in the games,that's howgreat an entertainer he was!!! I sure miss him!!!

Dear Harry we will love you forever 💖 the Lord will keep you in his kingdom. 🙏🎚️🙏🎚️

Yeah.... maybe in an earthworm fight
We did it Harry, I’ll see you very soon.
great great interview.
An American treasure! Miss you Harry!

Never missed a game, never missed an inning. Thats a good, old-fashion work ethic.
One of the reasons I had to visit that ballpark!
his voice is so perfect for baseball
What a class act. They don't make guys like that any more.
Will Ferrell almost fits the bill
As a kid listening to Bob and Tom skits on the radio, the impersonations of Harry Carry were always smile inducing. "HEY!!!......."
Boy the time when people came out without intro music... Paul's intro music for guests changed the whole feel of the show.
The Mayor of Rush Street, and not ashamed to admit it!!
what a colorful life he led...never missed a game cause he loved his job.
God I miss Harry. He made those games when the Cubs were 20 games out just as exciting as when they were in first..
