I listened to Harry and Jimmy Piersall religiously--not only for the baseball--but the "in between pitches" banter--which was comedy genius many nights.Talking about ex-wives:"Harry,my alimony is killing me." "You only have ONE to pay? Holy Cow--I've lost count on how many checks I write a month." "Miss Illinois,walking down the aisle,to get a Budweiser,Jimmy." "With that figure,she's not drinking Bud,Harry." "Okay,Bud Light." Somehow,four minutes is a disservice to Harry's long career and the entertainment he provided for 5 decades.But it was fun to watch.
Harry was the worst announcer ever... AND the best announcer ever. In the 1990's, Caray called George Bell "George Bush". On the radio once, he started talking about "Here we are in the NLCS"... it was just a regular season game against San Francisco. And the man could not pronounce a Latin player's name to save his life. BUT I defy you to find anyone with more passion for baseball.
If you say he could be the "worst" it's because you didn't hear him in his prime years. Those were the years he was the Cardinals announcer. You probably only heard him when he was getting older with the Cubs and, of course, after he had a stroke. But from 1953 thru 1968 Harry was as good as anyone and had NO problems with names or anything else. That kind of stuff only began happening after he was getting older. When he was in St. Louis he could make a game in a year when the Cards weren't very good a lot of fun to listen to. I hated it when the Cards fired him. . .RIP Harry!
It might be, it could be, it is!! Classic rest in power Harry
The thought of Harry and Bill Murray drinking Budweiser together under the lights at Wrigley makes me smile
Baseball should be fun and man did they understand that
There were no lights. We drank in the middle of the afternoon. Still do, but used to also.
@@Hear4Metallica was that an intentional Mitch Hedberg reference?

Wow...
I Remember Being in Elementary School & Writing TheDate "8-8-88"!
That's Crazy!
Holy Cow!
Cubs Win!
Wasn't sure it was Harry at first then I heard "Crowd" and knew it was him. God Bless Harry Caray.
If you got blessed with HC calling baseball, STL, OAK, CWS, Cubs, you were blessed!
Sadly, there will never be another Harry Caray.
Truer words have never been spoken
Holy Cow
Cubs win! Cubs Win!
That ballplayer was doing an impression of Will Ferrel, not Harry Caray.
If we want to try to go down the technical route, then that ballplayer was doing an impression of Will Ferrel doing an impression of Harry Caray
Whales.
@@onrywaymore104 -- That was what i meant. I figured that was implied.
Everybody did impressions of Harry back then. Most Illinoisians anyway.
Apparently he called for the A's for one year.
R.I.P. Harry Caray, the best there ever was -and Ryan Dempster does a better Will Ferrell than Ferrell.
Watching in 2020, will we ever get back to this? I teared up
Him and Skip sound exactly the same.
Who was the Cubs player with the funniest HC impression ever? {Sorry Will F.}
"What he hit a home run are you kidding me!"
pretty sure it was ryan dempster
Who’s the player doing the impression at the end ? Absolutely killed it
I believe Ryan Dempster
That’s a great impression of Will Ferrell doing HC, not so much Harry himself.
Everybody did that impression back then. Even before Will Ferrell.
They guy is impersonating will Ferrell doing harey carey
What happened to America? We let them destroy us from the inside didn't we?
It's a baseball video as a tribute to Harry Caray, not a political video
LOL
Is Obama in the broadcasting room
