Harry Caray and Milo Hamiton are on the call, and Harry and Skip Caray have the postgame in this WGN telecast between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, July 17, 1982.
Boy, my dad would have loved to see this. He was a lifelong Cardinals fan and he grew up listening to Harry Caray. He still loved Harry even when he worked for the hated Cubs.
Fun game. Back when you could choose to watch either the Braves broadcast on WTBS or the Cubs on WGN. A big season for the Braves and a great game for my favorite, Billy Buck! Thanks for the video!
that was pretty cool! Love Harry’s quip at the end “this was just a sneaky way to give you a gift” Skip being quick as hell: “i’m more worried about the inheritance” 😂😆 Got a great chuckle out of his dad!
My dad loved cable TV. He was a Pirates fan, and the stations in Chicago, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and NY would always air the games at noon, or evenings. Free of course, except the cable bill, but it was not an arm and a leg that the major sporting event are costing today for a full season of football, Baseball, and Hockey, and of course the Olympics! When the Pirates played teams that were not cabled, he would watch the computer live form. You could always watch the good events in the Olympics, his favorite being boxing, but not today brother! You're going to open that wallet to watch those events. Winter as well.
31:00 super slick play by Buckner and Sandberg! I wasn't expecting to see Bill Buckner escape the tag, since he had ankle problems throughout his career, but he did! All the while, Ryne Sandberg steals home! That is super smart playing! 😎
Interesting how many members of the 1980 World Champion Phillies is in this game. Walk, Noles, Moreland, Bowa and Vuckovich coaching 1st for the Cubs. Dallas Green was the GM for the Cubs.
With conditioning and training, access to advanced high-resolution video, players today definitely are bigger and stronger, and smarter when it comes to the craft. Now, we do still have players out of the lineup for "flu-like symptoms," the euphemism for "drank too much at the club the night before." And we likely always will.
@Matthew Baumgarten I just checked Wikipedia: St. Louis Browns 1953 St. Louis Cardinals 1954 Chicago Cubs 1955-57 Chicago White Sox 1961-65 Atlanta Braves 1966-75 Pittsburgh Pirates 1976-79 Chicago Cubs again 1980-1984 Houston Astros 1985-2012 Apparently he was a tough guy to get along with.
@@SerenityNow9015 I think it had something to do with how Milo left the Cardinals after the '54 season and whether or not Harry played a role in that. Then after '75, Milo gets replaced in the Braves' booth by Harry's son Skip. No wonder Milo hated the Carays.
@@diamonddog13 Well, Milo was Jack Brickhouse's hand-picked heir apparent. But WGN wanted Harry more. Milo and Harry worked together on TV for that one season in '82.

Neat to see Harry and Skip chatting at the end of this one. Obviously, working for different teams, they never appeared together on camera a lot.
that was pretty cool!

@@furnitureconsortium if harry would of lived longer, I'm willing to bet that the 3 would of done a dual broadcast
Thanks for uploading this this brings back so many memories for me. In a weird way I've always wished they kept Buckner somehow.
Back when life was simpler and a whole lot better. This was baseball at its best!
Was it better? I was 16 when this game was played. Life was different, but I don't know if it was better.

74 years since their last world series win. 34 to go. I was born about 2 months after this game.
To be 10 yrs old again!!!

I attended the previous game on 7/16/82. Wow thats 41 years ago.
Loved watching wgn in the 70s and 80s..even the commercials... nothing like day baseball....
89° in late july, that is gr8.
This game happaned 10 days after i was born...Crazy
I see Dale Murphy was 3-4 this game and the game I attended the day before, he was 4-5. Amazing hitter!!!
What the heck was Fergie Jenkins doing before the game started, splashing water cups on fans in front of the dugout?

@@eddiecharlie77 Brett played for the Royals. Noles was on the Phillies
Milo Hamilton's silence is deafening.
I would have been 14 at the time and most probably parked in front of the TV like I was for basically every game all summer long.
Gem.
that field looks a high school field.
NO NIGHT GAMES at Wrigley yet 😂..
Weird Seeing Sandberg at 3rd
Moreland sure raked in this game, too bad it was in a losing cause.
as much as i enjoy this vintage stuff, the players are so much better now haha

Very wrong, they are bad at baseball now.
How many different teams did Milo broadcast for?
That's a really good question about Milo, I wish I knew the answer
@Matthew Baumgarten I just checked Wikipedia:
St. Louis Browns 1953
St. Louis Cardinals 1954
Chicago Cubs 1955-57
Chicago White Sox 1961-65
Atlanta Braves 1966-75
Pittsburgh Pirates 1976-79
Chicago Cubs again 1980-1984
Houston Astros 1985-2012

Their players could play multiple positions Sandburg Moreland Buckner Durham
No Statcast. Just Baseball
Leon Durham in Center?
Both of Bull’s All-Star team selections came as an outfielder. They didn’t move him to 1B till ‘84.
Ryno at 3b?
That's right, it's where he started: baseballhall.org/discover/inside-pitch/sandberg-trade-reshapes-cubs-future
Played his entire rookie season at 3rd. Moved to 2nd in ‘83.
Leon Durham in centerfield. Never knew that.
He made both of his All-Star game selections as an outfielder.
44:13 True then, true today
Some directors still perv on women, that's true.
Arnie was legendary for scoping them out.
harry cary rocks so do the cubs
John McSherry makes Joe West look small
1:32 😮
To be 18, I had a '71 duster and money to go to alot of Games. Tix weren't $250 then
