www.justonebadc... ethervision.net This audio found in the trash of Harry Caray recalling a not so enjoyable moment where he did not get a crackerJack Prize.
He's hilarious he was a baseball commentator and he said here's the pitch and didn't even tell you if it was a ball or strike just went on with his story like their isn't a game going on..the best.
+bustyodust RIP Harry! What a great Cubs year 2015. He was on the Jumbo Tron for the 7th, when the Cubs beat the Cards couple weeks ago!! His spirit is all over that Brick House.
Im from the Chicagoland area. Ive been a fan of Harry's since he was with the White Sox. He made the games way more entertaining to watch on TV. He took over on the Cubs when Jack Brickhouse retired.
“You talk about a congressman being crooked.” Lmfao I’m a lifelong die hard Cardinals fan but every afternoon I’d watch the Cubs on WGN with my grandpa (who passed away last year) because we loved listening to Harry Caray lol
When I was younger I loved baseball but I was not a fan of the Cubs. BUT I did watch Cubs games on TV just so I could listen to this crazy old man. Haven't watch baseball in years but still like to listen to these videos of this legendary broadcaster!
Grew up in Minnesota, after school I'd go to my Grandparents house right after school and watch these games on WGN at like 2:30 in the afternoon... Die hard Twins fan but this brings back memories. Go Cubs!
Here's the deal, Harry had his phone number listed for anyone to phone him. Met him many times on Broadway. Chicago, and it was a gift to shake his hand, Let me make that clear, it was a gift to shake his hand. Another great, White Sox Tony LaRussa AND Bill Buckner. Chicago rocked and Harry was the real deal!
Oh my... That's right, I hadn't thought of that until I just read that again. That's a great place to be, where you can pick up your phone without letting it go to voicemail or some damn message. Not afraid of creditors or bad news, just OPEN, ready to deal with whatever. I have no problems publishing my phone#... The only difference is no one is going to want to call...ha. I bet he would have played right along with Will Ferrell, and more so 'got it' & played along.
Hey, Norm!!! Remember Cracker Jack's? Would you eat Cracker Jack's if they didn't have the little prize? Don't jerk me around, it's a simple question...I wouldn't. I'd feel like they cheated me!
Harry you slay me. You are insane. In the greatest way. I grew up a Cardinal fan and lisened to you Joe and Jack on KMOX. Thanks for a great childhood. I miss you.
There'll never be another Harry. Massive drinker who spoke his mind. I seen him drinking many times in Chicago. He was, like a lot of us, an all day drinker. Paced and spread out just enough to mostly avoid hurting yourself. Cosell said "Tell it like it is". Harry sure did do that. Here's to ya, Harry!!! Wish you were here.
Sorry you weren't here too see your beloved Cubbies FINALLY win the World Series in what was possibly the greatest series of all time (definitely the greatest game 7), you deserved it's much if not more than anyone else. I'm sure you were looking down and singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game while having a cold one. This ones for you Harry!!
As much as Harry would’ve loved to see the Cubs win a World Series, Harry was always a St. Louis Cardinals fan at heart. Being born in St. Louis and calling Cardinals games for 24 years, Harry actually did get to see his true beloved team, the Cardinals, win the World Series in 1964 & 1967 and actually blow a 3-1 lead to the Detroit Tigers in the 1968 World Series. Although Harry was known before becoming the Cubs announcer, he gained most of his popularity & fame as a Cubs announcer. And yes, he did love the Cubs too.
Harry you were one of a kind. You are baseball to every kid from St. Louis in the 50s. It sounds like you had a couple of Buds. Misss you man. Keep on keepin' on.
Harry was easily the most entertaining baseball announcer that I've had the pleasure to listen to. Baseball is hard enough to get into on TV, on the radio it's even more of a challenge.
TodayWasAGoodDay9 I like to listen to games on the radio. Baseball is a slow enough game that, with a good announcer, I can imagine exactly what the field looks like.
Disagree and Harry was. Why,the saying came from, The best way to watch a game is listening to it on the radio! I had the pleasure of listening to him broadcast the St.Louis Cardinals games. Listening on the Radio in Chicago, then he came too first the White Sox then the Cubs. Most people do not know he announced for the Oakland A's for 1 year
I always got my surprise in Cracker Jack. My favorite was the little magnifying glass. The worst prize was the little paper book was something written in it. But there was no collecting the prizes because they always got lost the day you took him out of the box.
I miss him so much. Used to watch him on WGN and used to listen to him on local FM radio while shooting hoops or swimming in the pool all summer. Had the privilege one time of attending a game and seeing him hang out of the press box singing the 7th inning stretch. What a national treasure
If you have any interest .. I have a ORDERED, CHRONOLOGICAL and perhaps the most comprehensive CUBS/Carey playlist of games that are on YT... Still adding as they reveal themselves
When my wife was a kid, she didn’t get a prize with her box of Cracker Jack’s. She wrote a letter to the company and they send her a whole box of prizes.
Harry was so unique and different it made the game fun to watch.I really really miss his voice and humor.The WGN game I see in Oregon is always entertaining still.God bless Harry!
I used to watch the Cubs on WGN with my grandfather many years ago back in the 80s during my summer break from school and remember Harry and Steve Stone. I miss those times.
Classic, just classic. Man do I miss him. Listening him progressively get blitzed throughout 9 innings. Watching him almost fall out of the booth during the 7th inning stretch. And poor Steve Stone trying to do post-game while Harry's almost passed out.
Man, this is great!!! A typical Harry tangent about "who knows what" during the broadcast... What great memories of coming home from school, firing up the Cubbies game, eating a snack and listening to Harry go off on Lord knows what... Miss ya Harry!!!
Hey! if you can find a tape of Harry Caray falling in love with a Bubbie's Kosher Pickel off camera but on mic. It was in 1986. It's a classic, or should be! And while your at it. I was a guest on Harry's 10th Inning Show in 1985 and he introduced me as JOHN Q. PUBLIC-The Fan. 2 years later he tabbed me as the Cubs #1 Fan. Next month I'm getting the Hilda Award named for Hilda Chester,the famed Brooklyn Dodger fan known for her Cowbell.
Died in ‘98. I can’t believe it. I was born and raised in Houston and grew up listening to Milo Hamilton. I used to watch the Cubs play the Astros back then on WGN and they had Harry on as the color commentator. I liked listening to him, but man does it take me back to the 80s and 90s to hear his voice. Such better times!
I'm a Cardinals fan, but I'll be damned if I said I didn't love this dude. I remember coming home after school and watching the Cubs on WGN because that was the only way I could watch baseball. My grandpa and I would watch and just laugh at Haray Caray's commentary.
It's so much more funny after hearing will Ferrell impressions of him, u realize how spot on ferrell is and how funny caray is almost makes me wish I were a Cubs fan
If you have any interest .. I have a ORDERED, CHRONOLOGICAL and perhaps the most comprehensive CUBS/Carey playlist of games that are on YT... Still adding as they reveal themselves
as an avid Reds fan I have always hated the Cubs, but I always loved Harry Caray. I would watch more Cubs games than anything just to hear that guy (and cause I live in Indiana and they show every game on WGN). RIP Harry!!!!
You wouldn't even be mad that he didn't even announce the play. The game was second nature to him, and it was wonderful! You got more hyped up about the story Harry was telling! You would forget that there was even a game playing!
The thing I loved about watching Cubs baseball...you NEVER knew what Harry was gonna say or spell or whatever. Miss those days so much! Don't even watch WGN any longer, haven't seen a game in 5+ years and wouldn't miss one back then.
His colleagues really should have spiked a box of Cracker Jacks with a dozen of the coolest little prizes and trinkets and given it to Harry on his birthday.
THIS IS PRICELESS!!! And by the way.....that has happened to me!! 12 cents a box back in the day! 2 weeks worth of allowance & ya get burned!! BOOOOOOOO!!!
Root Root Root for the Cubbies, Harry Caray was the greatest. No announcer could come close. Imagine if he was the announcer for some of the playoff games of our day and age..you'd never be bored!
Thanks for posting this. Harry is an icon.I remember this conversation and how much I was laughing. Is there a posting of his conversation with Steve about seedless grapes?
He's hilarious he was a baseball commentator and he said here's the pitch and didn't even tell you if it was a ball or strike just went on with his story like their isn't a game going on..the best.
Harry Carey was a Baseball Commentator for WGNTV.
Not the radio
@@JohnkothIf I remember correctly, when he first started with WGN he would do the first 3 innings for tv the 2nd 3 for radio and the last 3 for tv.
"Here's the pitch.... [no commentary on the pitch]" lol classic
+bustyodust RIP Harry! What a great Cubs year 2015. He was on the Jumbo Tron for the 7th, when the Cubs beat the Cards couple weeks ago!! His spirit is all over that Brick House.
Classic Harry Caray! 😂
Im from the Chicagoland area. Ive been a fan of Harry's since he was with the White Sox. He made the games way more entertaining to watch on TV. He took over on the Cubs when Jack Brickhouse retired.
Brilliant.
2 minutes in and we don't even know who's up.
The man is an absolute legend.
There'll never be another Harry! When he was broadcasting drunk, it was priceless!
I miss those days of Steve Stone and Harry Caray while watching the Cubs when I was a kid in Chicago. GO CUBS!!!
I didn't realize that Harry Caray was an actual person till today.
That makes it all the better.
"It's hard to think in laudatory terms of the product". Funnier than Will Ferrell ever dreamed up.
As Harry always used to say, "Ah, you can't beat fun at the ol' ballpark"! How I still miss him!
"It's hard to think in laudatory terms." People just don't make statements like that anymore.
joshuatxuk just learned a new word thanks lol im gonna use it
TIL
Loved that man. Spent every summer listening to him.
“You talk about a congressman being crooked.” Lmfao

Why did the White Sox let Harry go?
@@paleo704 Problem with the Busch family
Well, Tony's back, but I'd rather have Harry
fond memories of Harry Caray growing up watching the Cubs on WGN. I wasn't even a Cubs fan but I loved hearing him call a game.
"It's a simple quest Dr....would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?"
Lmfao!
"I'd go back for seconds. And then polish it off with a tall cool Budweiser."
Just say yes and we'll move on.
Hey, Norm!!! Remember Cracker Jack's? Would you eat Cracker Jack's if they didn't have the little prize? Don't jerk me around, it's a simple question...I wouldn't. I'd feel like they cheated me!
he is so amazing, there will never be another like him
0:35 There's no one I'd rather hear say "It's hard to think in laudatory terms of the product"
I was watching this one live! I can remember this.
Harry and Steve were the voice of my childhood summers. Brings me back to the best years of my life.
Harry you slay me. You are insane. In the greatest way. I grew up a Cardinal fan and lisened to you Joe and Jack on KMOX. Thanks for a great childhood. I miss you.
he was hilarious both intentionally and unintentionally. harry was just a delightful broadcaster. because of his sense of humor
There'll never be another Harry. Massive drinker who spoke his mind. I seen him drinking many times in Chicago. He was, like a lot of us, an all day drinker. Paced and spread out just enough to mostly avoid hurting yourself. Cosell said "Tell it like it is". Harry sure did do that. Here's to ya, Harry!!! Wish you were here.
Long live Harry! We will always cherish the moments..
I loved Harry so much watching him on WGN growing up. He made me into a Cubs fan from Michigan.
A true legend!

harry caray is awesome.....steve stone props to you too......i watched you guys everyday during my childhood.
I always got my surprise in Cracker Jack. My favorite was the little magnifying glass. The worst prize was the little paper book was something written in it.
But there was no collecting the prizes because they always got lost the day you took him out of the box.
Grew up listening to Harry
Harry Caray is a legend. People said, even when he was wasted he was cordial, funny, and a joy to be around, lol.
I ONLY SING IT CAUSE ITS IN THE SONG !
Never will be the same without Harry and Steve!
I miss him so much. Used to watch him on WGN and used to listen to him on local
FM radio while shooting hoops or swimming in the pool all summer. Had the privilege one time of attending a game and seeing him hang out of the press box singing the 7th inning stretch. What a national treasure
If you have any interest ..
I have a ORDERED, CHRONOLOGICAL and perhaps the most comprehensive
CUBS/Carey playlist of games that are on YT...
Still adding as they reveal themselves
The prizes in the box when I was a kid lasted a long time,however some contained lead. Then they switched to plastic and it was down hill ever since.
When my wife was a kid, she didn’t get a prize with her box of Cracker Jack’s. She wrote a letter to the company and they send her a whole box of prizes.
CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!!! World Series Champions!
"why not talk about commercial products that don't do what they say" what a insight!
Harry's just telling it like it is. Truth in advertising. He was a smart man. They really don't make them like him anymore.
Harry was so unique and different it made the game fun to watch.I really really miss his voice and humor.The WGN game I see in Oregon is always entertaining still.God bless Harry!
I used to watch the Cubs on WGN with my grandfather many years ago back in the 80s during my summer break from school and remember Harry and Steve Stone. I miss those times.
These two were the best!!!!!
Harry Carey! They did it!
Classic, just classic. Man do I miss him. Listening him progressively get blitzed throughout 9 innings. Watching him almost fall out of the booth during the 7th inning stretch. And poor Steve Stone trying to do post-game while Harry's almost passed out.
what your favorite planet?? Mines the sun...always has been!
I consider it the king of planets!
Lmfao
"I once stared at the sun for over an hour, with a pair of binoculars... I'm curious like a cat. I got a couple of friends that call me Whiskers."
@Brian taylor That was a brilliant, well-spoken answer... to a question nobody asked.
@Brian taylor Go away troll!
Stone and Caray were THE BEST!!!
I didn't even like the Cubs, but whenever we got cable and had WGN, I always watched the Cubs games because of this man~
I heard this for the first time about a decade ago and I still think about it sometimes.
Man, this is great!!! A typical Harry tangent about "who knows what" during the broadcast... What great memories of coming home from school, firing up the Cubbies game, eating a snack and listening to Harry go off on Lord knows what...
Miss ya Harry!!!
I wish all broadcasters where like him or his son. I loved them both so much!

God bless Harry Caray. I miss him. Chicago my home town.
LOL God bless 'em... Hilarious. I love how he just keeps commentating in between being pissed at crackjacks without missing a beat.
It's so much more funny after hearing will Ferrell impressions of him, u realize how spot on ferrell is and how funny caray is almost makes me wish I were a Cubs fan
Godspeed to Skip, he is on the way to have a Bud Lite, and watch some Cubs baseball with you Harry.
RIP
Harry held that grudge his entire life!
1:54 8 years into the *_NEW_* century, WE DID IT!
That's like buying a pack of baseball cards and there's no bubble gum in it, God damn it!
If you have any interest ..
I have a ORDERED, CHRONOLOGICAL and perhaps the most comprehensive

Miss u Harry!
Man I would've loved to drink a Bud or an Old Style with Harry. Go Cubs!
Best rant ever
Screw Will Ferrell Harry Caray was one of the soundtracks to my summer as a kid!
Harry Caray was a fun drunk.
I remember this! Live. I was bartending at Kasey's Tavern on South Dearborn. Cracked me up then, cracks me up now.
Just one bad century?! NOT ANYMORE!!
as an avid Reds fan I have always hated the Cubs, but I always loved Harry Caray. I would watch more Cubs games than anything just to hear that guy (and cause I live in Indiana and they show every game on WGN). RIP Harry!!!!
Dang! Will Ferrell's Harry Caray is so epicly funny that his sketch on SNL with Jeff Goldblum shows up first even you search just for Harry Caray.
It's a simple 'yes' or 'no' question: If the predator monster promised not to kill the other players, would you put him in the game?
It's not rocket science. Just say "yes" and we will move on.
"It's hard to think in lauditory terms of the product."
LMFAO
THE ALL TIME BEST PLAY BY PLAY.
This is an all-time great!
its a simple question doc, would you eat the moon if it was made of ribs??
You wouldn't even be mad that he didn't even announce the play. The game was second nature to him, and it was wonderful! You got more hyped up about the story Harry was telling! You would forget that there was even a game playing!
@drewallah *pause* well that's all the time we have today thanks for comin out!
SNL parody truly imitated life.
Harry was the greatest even though the Cubs were losing he still made watching fun
The thing I loved about watching Cubs baseball...you NEVER knew what Harry was gonna say or spell or whatever. Miss those days so much! Don't even watch WGN any longer, haven't seen a game in 5+ years and wouldn't miss one back then.
I want a "Cubs win! Cubs win!" clip so bad.
hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah what a broadcaster. legendary.
His colleagues really should have spiked a box of Cracker Jacks with a dozen of the coolest little prizes and trinkets and given it to Harry on his birthday.
...harry was beyond awesome...
When I was young the only reason I watched the cubs was because of Harry
The world needs another Harry Caray.
THIS IS PRICELESS!!! And by the way.....that has happened to me!! 12 cents a box back in the day! 2 weeks worth of allowance & ya get burned!! BOOOOOOOO!!!
eyeOOsee goddamn your ancient..12¢ having value wtf? Where you there when the Gutenberg created the matrices for the first Printing press?
Yet it built character in ya, IOC.
Love you Harry. Miss you!
Classic Harry Caray! The legend should NEVER die.
This is priceless....Harry was so awesome! For my best shot at an impression, search Harry Caray on Terry Mulholland. :)
Root Root Root for the Cubbies, Harry Caray was the greatest. No announcer could come close. Imagine if he was the announcer for some of the playoff games of our day and age..you'd never be bored!
This is why Harry was awesome.
Gold
This guy practically raised me. Miss him a lot.
Well you will get your wish this year Mr. Caray. The Cubs win it in 2016 for sure.
i'm still floored by this video.
Cubs win World Series 2016!!!!
Thanks for posting this. Harry is an icon.I remember this conversation and how much I was laughing. Is there a posting of his conversation with Steve about seedless grapes?
I still thought the commercial was funny and a strange way to remember the real Harry Caray.
Holy crap he really does ramble on about nothing 😂. Will Farrell is a comedic genius
