Product Description

Pat Hughes, the voice of the Cubs on WGN Radio, presents a new CD tribute to legendary broadcaster Harry Caray. Harry Caray could do it all. He had a distinctive voice, charisma, enthusiasm, style, humor, longevity and consistency. He had that great home run call - It might be! It could be! IT IS! A home run! - and the talent to make even a dull game come to life. This CD traces his career. Included are the stories of Harrys humble beginnings, his start in broadcasting, and his ascension to Cardinal Radio in 1945. If you are a younger fan and your main Harry Caray memory is of him as a venerable Cubs TV announcer, wait until you hear his work with the Cardinals in the 1950s and 60s. In the mid-70s, Harry started singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame at the old Comiskey Park. You'll hear the story of how this began. In 1982 Harry was named the Voice of the Chicago Cubs on both WGN-TV and Radio. He immediately connected with Cub fans. As big as he had been in the 1950s and 60s on Cardinals Radio, Harry became bigger - gigantic, even - with the Chicago Cubs. The CD is full of great memories from Harry's career, including: His great call of Stan Musicals 3,000th hit in 1958, Harrys rousing play-by-play work in the 1964 Cardinals World Championship season, and the famous 1984 Ryne-Sandberg-2-homers-off-Bruce-Sutter game. Plus lots of funny moments with Harry.
