Great story of him meeting Elvis. Loved it. Elvis always so kind and down to earth. 👍

Eating a "barrel of ribs" with Elvis, Great story!

Harry cared very much about people and was a great guy overall. I remember catching up to him at Jay's on Rush St and in my cab in the mid 80's. RIP

Watching Harry Caray on WGN made me a Cub fan!! I miss him!

Harry Caray Born: March 1, 1914, St. Louis, MO Died: February 18, 1998, Rancho Mirage, CA

Just shy of his 84th birthday. He was so show business and claimed he was only 77. As if we cared. Could've been 116 as far as i was concerned.

His real name was Harry Christopher Carabina.

Harry was one of the finest human beings that ever lived...

Cool story about Harry and Elvis!

This is so much more than the title! This is Harry - and how he came to be the Icon of the Cubs - We are baseball fans - GO CUBS - GO!!!!!!!!!

When things aren't going well, I still imagine Harry's "Heeey, let's get some runs!" in my head, that he said after the 7th inning stretch if the Cubs weren't winning. It helps a ton.

Harry has a RICH voice!

Harry was the BEST!!!!!!

I loved the Elvis story!!!!!

I think this is an amazing interview. Baseball misses him.

OG! Just OG. My late mom was crazy go nuts for him!

Harry took his craft and baseball seriously, but NEVER himself seriously!

Yup. The best thing about him and Vin Scully is that they could keep you entertained without taking away from the game on the field in any way. They were very opposite kinds of broadcasters, but you know what I mean. They both knew the game was much bigger than them

Loved how Roy brought 2 other people that Harry sits in between, KABC-7 sports anchor Todd Donaho & Comedian John Caponera. How they give their essence of doing a Harry Caray impression. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I loved this guy. Grew up in Keokuk, Iowa listening to Harry. Moved to Chicago b4 Harry got there but when he arrived the White Sox became my 2nd favorite team. Then on to the Cubs and the Cubs became my 3rd favorite team. He was soooo much better, in my opinion, than the Dodger guy. Harry was the greatest!!!!

Nobody would sound like you Harry , your the one and only ! RIP , I heard a comedian do a Harry Karry impression announcing all the players of the Game as the people of the Bible , I think he had Jesus pitching? It was clean and it was hilarious! I can’t think of who the comedian was , but if you google it you might find it ? It’s worth just a hilarious skit ! RIP Harry 🙏🏻

Elvis...

Great post!! Thankyou so much!!

Loved this guy. Still do.

I loved him too. I can still hear him singing at the middle of the 7th ending stretch. "All right, let me hear ya, Uh One, Uh Two, Uh Three. Take me out to the ballgame. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks. I don't care if I ever get back. Now, lets root root root for the Cubies. If they don't win, it's a bitch. So, it's one, two, three strikes your out at the old ballgame. Yeah!! I know...I suck at singing, but so did Harry and he didn't care then and neither do I now.

Liked them both very much didn’t like Chip though. Harry was great & Skip was very good in different ways. Don’t like Chip cause he was working for the Cubs he would say on tv “Give this Cub team credit.” I heard that many times after a loss on postgame my answer is why they have a job to do you either win or lose if you lose you don’t get points or cookies & milk. It’s sports competition!!!!

love his Budweiser but he was fun miss you too

........ This isn't Harry Caray. This is Will Ferrell. LOL

Will Ferrell was a faint copy. I HATE it that others go off of that copy. Harry had a deeper and richer voice. His voice was VERY full-bodied. Plus the dedication to the game and those who were lonely. What Roy said at the end was very true. Harry cared about people. The fans. I think of the song Eleanor Rigby.

David Miller comedy impersonations are generally exaggerated

Well, Such an indelible personality....love him, hate him, or somewhere in between. The book of baseball simply isn't complete without a chapter on Harry!!!

Harry Carey in Philadelphia Cubs vs Phillies the intentional walk Harry said "The bases will be loaded & that's gonna be me after the game I'm gonna get loaded to." Lol

Fisk wasn't on the White Sox in '79. Not until '81.

HOW DARE THAT ESPN ALERT INTERUPT HIM!!!!

Funny stuff ! 😂

#HOLYCOW

Harry didn't die at 77 actually Harry died just few weeks shy before his 84th B-day.

You know, Steve...

Harry Carey lived to be 84 years old minus a week or too. Not 77 years like Firestone said ...Harry Caray was the all time best announcer !!! With joy ,passion, and pure love he did his job ,,,

Firestone addresses the disparity/"controversy" re: Carey's age -in this piece . Perhaps you didn't catch that part

EAP story starts after 6:30.

His real name was Harry Christopher Carabina. It was in 1941 just as Harry took his first broadcasting gig at radio station WCLS in Joliet, Michigan, Bob Holton I think his name, the station manager at WCLS came up with the idea that Carabina would sound too awkward on the air and he was like to Harry, why don't we take your first 4 letters (of his last name), and add a Y. And it suddenly became his legal name.

Harvey says the footage they show Harry at the 2:00 mark was from 1979. Greg Luzinski was on the Phillies in 1979. He played for Chicago starting in 1981. Just sayin.

Elvis story at 6:32.

'79 White Sox playing with their shirts tucked out...why can't they do that anymore ?

Jack Buck: I learned a lot of good and bad from Harry. When i joined him in 1954 he said on the air, after a Cardinals pitcher walked in a run, Get that guy out of there! Jack said, My God, you're gonna get us both fired! Believe it! Harry telling it like it was long before Howard Cosell came along. 14:14

Let's think Baseball ⚾️ 🤔 👀 😏 😎 🏏

This is the 83rd comment. #83Nation

Gotta love Harry, comparing a headache to leukemia.

Ammonia!!

wierd that he said this was in 1979? I'm guessing this was 1981 since Luzinski was playing for the Phillies and Fisk was playing for the Redsox in 1979.

Will Ferral does a good Harry

There use to be soooo much more respect for the game

HEY! If the moon was made of Barbecue Spare Ribs would ya eat then?

I'm glad Harry Carey's wife was against that goofy impersonator.
