Steve stone and harry carray you would think is a odd combination in the beginning. But I couldn't picture harry doing a game with anyone else but steve stone. They had a special kind of magic doing games I think you will never replicate.
I grew up in St. Louis listening to Harry and whoever his partner was at the time. (He had at least 3 that I recall.) He called Cardinal games for 23 years. The legend was that he could get you run out of town if he didn't like you as a player. He would suggest that you didn't hustle or weren't a team guy, something like that. But he was always entertaining and loved the Cardinals.
His first partner was Gabby Street, After he died, Gus Mancuso replaced him. When AB bought the Cardinals, they hired Jack Buck in 1954 and Joe Garagiola joined them a year later. Joe left after 1962 and Jack remained his partner and would become Voice of the Cardinals after Harry was fired after the 1969 season.
Harry was a very unique and original person...My wife is not a sports fan but she would listen to Harry....He was a raconteur and wonderful entertainer...Even our male cat, Mao would listen to Cubs games with a silly smirk on his face... You don t replace legends like Harry/Buck/Harwell/Cheek/Kalas...They are like Bambino Ruth, they live for ever in our hearts..
I remember watching the game where Harry miscalled the fly and called it as a home run. My dad and I were laughing our butts off. I used to watch those two everyday as a kid. :)
same! lol i remember watching that game with my old man too and laughing hysterically. harry might have made a lot of mess ups but it was always entertaining.
Stoney would very often explain whats going to happen next and then you watched it happen. Loved his colorful explanations. And Harry ribbing him about the cigars. I hated when Dwayne Statts did the play by play.
Dear Steve you are wonderful. But harry is great.!!!!! We will love him forever. 🎚️🙏🎚️🙏🎚️🙏

Miss Harry and Steve!!!!
WOW!!! Those are some awesome stories...thanks Steve, for sharing!!
Steve and Harry were the best duo!!!
Grew up watching/listening to Harry and Steve - they were great - I wasn't a cubs fan but I'll always be a Harry Carey man -
Dear Steve, harry is the greatest. !!!! Do you remember when he said I need more ice tea. !!!! 😂
Harry and Steve are a big reason I am a Cubs fan.
Jason Mullins same here I enjoyed watching them on WGN along with Tom Brennaman he would fill in the 4-6 innings for Harry
alas Harry's son is a big reason I'm a braves fan. Steve Stone and Joe Simpson need to write a book on the stories they have.
Loved listening to these guys call Cubs games. HAY!! Look at the guy in the SOMBRERO!

I had recorded that game! Was just telling my wife about it. Opening day against the Expos. Mark Grace was the batter and he got thrown out at third.

Whoever says Harry and Steve were the best team never heard Harry and Jimmy Piersall.
I loved listening to both of them!, I sure wish we could've gotten Harry a championship ring!😮😊😢, that would have been awesome 👍😎❤
I remember 1984 very well. Harry with his sidekick, Jon Lovitz. Good times.
i remember when harry tried pronouncing his own name backwards. the sound he made lolol i think that might have been his first stroke.
Love Steve Stone. Interesting that Harry actually was a St. Louis fan as well
LOL "actually was a st louis fan as well"? Ummmmmm His first and only true love in baseball was the cardinals. Cubs fans are so delusional lol
I'll tell ya' what, Steve Stone. You were lucky to be named Harry's partner; but he was just as fortunate to have you.
I'm not a cub fan, but I was when Harry did the games.
source?
Wish I could have met harry drink a cold bud with him or 12
