My grandpa took me to my first MLB game, Cubs vs. Dodgers June 19th 1996. I caught a foul ball, my grandpa though, he ended up on TV. My grandpa had a big beard at the time, and he was sitting there and the camera caught him Harry Caray said "That guy was clean shaven when this game started." I was so pissed that I didn't end up on TV, but now that I'm older, maybe a bit wiser, I'm glad I got the ball and grandpa got the coverage. He got to have that moment with a legend of baseball lore, and he deserved it.
As a lifelong Cub fan, I will always identify Harry with the Cubs. I will breakout a Harry impression every now & then. I know in his heart, Harry will always love the Cardinals first, understandably, but his second love, the Cubs, is where his fame really took off. He was also great with Jimmy Piersall calling White Sox games albeit sometimes downright raunchy yet enjoyable.
This video is so enjoyable! As a life long St. Louisan and Cards fan I really liked Jack Buck as an announcer when I got older, but when I was a kid growing up in the 1960s so much of what got me in to Baseball was listenening to Harry Caray calling a Cardinals game on the radio. He just made the games so exciting on the radio. I remember listening to my transistor radio the excitement of a home run or the intense drama of a bottom of the 9th inning in Candlestick with Bob Gibson facing a slugger like Mays or Mc Covey with the game on the line with each pitch. Thanks for placing on UA-cam.
remember summer afternoons listening to Harry... wasn't even a cub fan but WGN and they always had day games so they were on TV here in Harry Carey's voice reminds me of my Summers and childhood 😁
In spite of the commercials this was an awesome documentary. I must admit that the floodgates opened when Skip and Chip sang together during the 7th. inning stretch.
I can ONLY imagine the party harry threw in the ultimate skybox when the cubs won the world series!!! You know he was doing the play by play for all those that are no longer with us.
6:10 In case anyone was wondering this game was May 20th, 1994. Rick Wilkins with a double to left field to score Rey Sanchez. Thanks Baseball Reference
I was watching a game and the hitter hits a routine fly ball to right center. The centerfielder gets under the fly ball. The ball hits the top of his glove and goes over his head and a run scores. Harry said, " I've been broadcasting baseball for a long time, and that's the worst play I have ever seen. I was hooked. A Cubs for the rest of my life. Thank You Harry Cary. Miss You.
I recall reading that Harry broadcasted White Sox games on a station in which the great majority of its programming was in Albanian; he says he never tried to learn how to say "Holy cow!" in that language. Harry, this is for YOU! "Holy cow!" in Albanian ---> *Lopë e shenjtë!*
That's interesting, because Harry was Albanian. He always said he was Italian, but records show both of his parents were born in Albania. I think being orphaned made him want to forget about his roots. It's also possible that his family didn't teach him intentionally, as older generations of immigrants wanted their children into assimilating as much and as quickly as possible to avoid discrimination.
Just lying , making up a tall wild story. He was the White Sox broadcaster from 71-81. But the 1st yr they were on a little station , but changed in 72
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Larry Colin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The hardest clip to watch is at the end of the 1995 season. Caray laments the season that just ended, and began crying uncontrollably on the air. It was so sad. It was as if Harry knew he didn't have much longer. He would have LOVED the 1998 season.
I don't remember all the details but it was ugly I knew Anheuser-Busch was part of it... they tell you in the video you couldn't keep his pants up messing with women he shouldn't have been it was no saint
The cat🤮 Bartman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Alou threw his fit it made Bartman a escape goat. All dude was doing was trying to catch a ball and if he knew Alou urinates on his own hands he would have probably moved away from him. Stop blaming Bartman Chicago fans. Blame the billy goat instead.
Will Ferrell and Joe Buck smell bad. Piersall was great. Booze?....sadly, that's what killed him. Ironic he was parentless and treated his kids the way he did. He seemed to become a parody of himself the older he got.

The key thing missing from Ferrell's impersonation is the smile and joy always bubbling in Harry.
He pretty much was the voice of Midwest Baseball for over 50 years, considering he called St Louis Cardinals games, and for the Cubs and the Sox.
When we won, the first person my mom and I brought up was Carey. Carey, Hawk, and Pat Foley will always be known as the voices of Chicago sports
Please don't bring up hawk. All he was was god awful especially at the end.
Yes me and my two other cub fan buddies watch the game. When we won we cried and then said wish Carey could of seen this.
@@chadjustice8560 hawk was a legend
Can't forget Johnny Red Kerr
@@chadjustice8560 he wasnt so God awful when he first got to Chicago...but he should have quit a long time before he did. Harry too

Harry and Piersall were fantastic together. Harry kept Falstaff in business.

Good times
Jimmy Piersall once got into a fight with Billy Martin before a Yankees-Red Sox game on May, 24, 1952
Harry is the main reason why I’m a cubs fan
Not your brothers or papa? But he did arrive when I became a White Sox fan in 1972 and more important the team won
I met Harry here in Atlanta he was so nice!!!
What year?
Really? I’ve met him probably 100x since 1988 till death and he was always a jerk!
@@shannonwilliams1941 Oh wow what did he do that made him a jerk?

Often impersonated, never Duplicated. RIP Harry Carey.

Ferrell's character was an ongoing act of love.

Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Payton Rhys glad I could help =)
RIP Harry Caray 1914-1998
I believe the doc showed a news broadcast that had the wrong date for his year of birth! That's bad.
@@BigMacs737 So you believe that news broadcast or me?

I guarantee WGN and TBS would have found a way to do a dual broadcast with the 3 all calling the same game
Good to watch for educational assignments.
THANK YOU!
Pleasure of meeting him and Steve Stone after a Reds vs. Cubs game years ago. He was very nice and common. Stone never spoke...
Stone was a bum
34:05 If you get mad love from Barry Bonds of all people, you're truly something special. lol
I ❤ Tulsi 🎉 What a gal.!
His son and grandson also became announcers as well. They worked together broadcasting Atlanta Braves games on TBS.
Sadly had he lived to see next season, Grandson Chip was supposed to with Harry in the Cub games
I saw the game on UA-cam, that his widow sang take me out to the ball game after he died very moving. You could tell she was nervous & struggled.
They should have shown the scene where Ronald Reagan joins him in the booth.
Put my dad's ashes in they ivy bu 368 sign in right field in August before they won the series!
Go cubs go!
Now that is what I call a true fan. RIP to your pops GO CUBS GO!!!
The ad breaks kill this...
Have they forgotten Jack Brickhouse?
Wonderful announcer, different documentary
I heard a story where a cabbie dropped Harrey off at a bar at around 10pm and picked him up at 7am to take him home. 🤣
He spent a career calling Games for the Cardinals before he started his even longer career in Chicago.
He was with the Cardinals longer
I did it... With the White Sox and Nancy Foust playing the organ. Harry worked for BEER! And my dad drank what he sold. Hamms, Old Style, Falstaff.
blonde with the glasses😍!
Ice cold Budweiser
I always found Ferrell's impression to be a mockery of Harry, and not very good.
Why who else were they going to get?
Obviously you and three other people don't have a sense of humor
so ... many ... adds... SMH
@The Bricks & Ivy Archive: *25TH* like!
They never said why he was let go from the Cardinals……does anyone know the real story?
I don't remember all the details but it was ugly I knew Anheuser-Busch was part of it... they tell you in the video you couldn't keep his pants up messing with women he shouldn't have been it was no saint
Supposedly he was monkeying around with Augie Busches wife.
steve goodman
The guy couldn’t carry Jack Bucks jock.
Holy cow? That's only Phil Rizzuto bro. What A peculiar title. Absolutely ridiculous.
LOLOLOL read a book
Yea, carrying a can of Schlitz after being fired in 1969 for adultery with the owner's son's wife! Does anyone else besides Harry Caray do that?
6:27
I had ' win it for Harry' in the dust on my car every day of the Series. 👍
I cannot stand the Will Ferrell impersonation.
BOB: whats it all about harry?
HARRY: whats it all about kid?
whats it all about?
BABES BOOZE BASEBALL AND BULLSHIT
I have a beautiful black cat called Penny, and I love her. As for Bartman 🤮 Forget it
The cat🤮 Bartman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Alou threw his fit it made Bartman a escape goat. All dude was doing was trying to catch a ball and if he knew Alou urinates on his own hands he would have probably moved away from him. Stop blaming Bartman Chicago fans.

Leave Bartman alone. He did nothing wrong.
Will Ferrell and Joe Buck smell bad. Piersall was great. Booze?....sadly, that's what killed him. Ironic he was parentless and treated his kids the way he did. He seemed to become a parody of himself the older he got.
no one cares ....psssst
Jesus. This documentary reminded me of how terrible Pat Hughes is. Overrated announcer
He’s in the documentary
I heard a whole lot worse. At least he and Ron Santo and now Ron Cooner keep us entertained
@@DKTCHIKC i think it's ron coomer former twin
Not as overrated as Thom Brenneman(former announcer of the Red)
How about that dog filth Buck?
