When I heard 'Amazing Grace', seeing the Caray's hug, the balloons, the chants, I couldn't stop crying. Harry Caray was more than a broadcaster, he was less than a god, but more than a man. He was a literal icon, one whom will never be duplicated for as long as we live. And I sincerely hope that come season's end, his soul can finally rest, knowing his beloved Cubs will finally be World Champions. RIP

You couldn't say it better. Thank you

After all these years, still in tears. How Harry would have loved this season. Let's win it for him and Jack and Ronnie and Ernie.

I'm so happy the Cubs have won the World Series but man I miss 90s baseball. The presentation was just so cool. The looks the music the broadcasting the home runs. What a great time to watch baseball.

I am a die hard Yankee fan. But God damn are Cubs fans fuckin cool. That was the greatest tribute I've ever seen.

Still brings tears to my eyes.

Absolute tearjerker, thanks for this post of Cubbie memorabilia

Cubs did it! World Champions! Hope Harry is having a party in heaven!

I miss the 90's

Watching Chip hug her just was the sweetest.

I got goosebumps watching the start of this. What a great year for the Cubs! Too bad Harry wasn't around to call it. He would've loved that particular season of 1998.

So great and tear jerking to see the colors of both cubs and white sox flying in the air in memory of Harry.

Lifelong Braves fan from the south but growing up I came home from school every afternoon and watched Harry and the Cubs on WGN. Great memories.

Crying now, just went to a game and felt so good; Cubs win!

Almost 23 years later and I'm getting choked up watching this. That man's voice was the sound of my childhood. We miss you Harry!

I truly believe he watched the 2016 season from heaven, with an ice cold Old Style in his hand.

Finally somebody found this!! I watched this game back in '98 when it aired live. I cried then when they did the Amazing Grace and balloons and did it again here 17 years later. We miss ya Harry! Go Cubs Go!!

I have so much respect for the Cubs and their fans. Even at the expense of my Dodgers, it was so awesome to see them break the curse. If only Harry were alive to see it. If this doesn't bring you to tears, then something is wrong with you.

I'll turn on the game, even after all these years, and miss hearing his voice.

It was simply beautiful listening to Mrs. Carey sing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. Then to hear “Amazing Grace”, I know that I sure was crying, too. My gosh, it’s been 21 years ago. It seems like yesterday. Bless you, Harry. May he forever Rest In Peace.

20 years. Wow. Harry, you will always be missed.

I watched this game as a 16 year old kid. 20 years later I still tear up. I grew up watching cubs baseball with my grandfather,I'm sure he had his pbr when they won the world series as he watched from heaven.

I remember watching the cubs on WGN back in the day, and hearing Harry Carey say at the beginning of the telecast "Harry Caray with Steve Stone, this is the place to be Holy Cow!" I LOVE my CUBS win lose or draw!!

This randomly came up and so glad I watched. I was about 10th row directly behind home plate because a cousin married an Expo. So I got to see him bat and got to relive the memory. Good times.

Classy. Everything I grew up with expecting from diehard sports community in one video. God Bless, and see you on the other side, Harry.

Extremely classy Cubbies! So few teams know how to do things like this right.

great vid!!! hard to believe it's been 18 yrs since harry passed away :(. he sure made the cubs games fun to watch!

After all this time I still get misty eyed watching this. RIP Harry

I'm a Mets fan and I just cried like a baby. I know, it's probably because I'm a Mets fan. Fuck it, though. Harry was a god. Chicago is one lucky team to have had him.

Giants fan for life, but some people were bigger than just the game. Harry is one of baseballs immortals

I wonder if the Carey family ever thought they would become "Icons" in Chicago!!!

I'm not a believer in all that heaven and hell stuff, but IF I happen to be wrong, no doubt Harry is looking down and smiling upon Wrigley Field after the Cubs finally made it to the big show defeating the Dodgers in Game 6, 5-0 on Saturday, October 22, 2016

The guest conductors have been fun over the years. It was never more emotional than when Dutchie did it for this game. The worst (and funniest) was Ditka!

chip really just called his grandma dutchie

🥲 I'm sure Harry was celebrating when the Cubbies won in '16 and Skip was celebrating when the Braves won it all earlier this month. They made baseball so much fun. ⚾️ 🧢

If Harry would have been alive for this season, you can damn well bet that TBS/WGN would work out some sort of simucast.

Who says there's no crying in baseball..

Only if the Cardinals win another Championship will Harry will be celebrating!

I hate my friggin’ allergies.
