I remember tho i wasnt a Cubs fan i would still would watch Cubs home games just to listen to Harry and get a damn good laugh ! He was one of a kind ! As a Braves life long fan his son Skip who announced Braves games could be funny sometimes but i was always hoping he would get drunk to see if he could be as funny as his dad ! lol
My first job after I got out of the Marines was hauling steel in and out of Chicago... spent many hours stuck in traffic jams and road construction backups listening to Harry. Was never a Cub fan but did appreciate the day games to help pass the time.
Sadly, nobody can announce like Caray did because it's too risky now. If you get too relaxed and have a personality, pretty soon you'll say something that starts a controversy and gets you canceled. So all we have left today are stiff boring suits. It's what people have unwittingly demanded.
Dorinda Thurman Thom is a total butthurt man. He was promised Harry's position but when Carey didn't want to retire Thom was bannished to Ohio. The real toughest man alive is Steve Stone. The stories of being the professional between the Harry and Hawk Harrilson yrs? Harsh work environment!
@@christopherhitt1103 -- Thom was not "banished to Ohio." He left the Cubs for the Diamondbacks. He spent over a decade in Arizona before leaving to work with his dad in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, he put his foot in his mouth with an anti-gay slur a few months ago and now his career is probably over.
@iron maiden Says the guy using the name of a heavy metal band as your name ! Run to the Hills because you have the Number of the Beast or You will become the Prisoner
@iron maiden Son I turned 14 in 1980 and I know everything about the 80's ! I mentioned those songs because Number of the Beast is the only album I ever liked from them ! Unlike you pinheads I wasn't enthralled with the NBHMI ! The only bands I liked from it was Saxon and even tho you people omit it that Invasion included Def Leppard ! Oh for the record I saw AC/DC w/Bon Scott when I was 12 and Ozzy w/Randy Rhoads so go sing your tune else where !
@iron maiden Hmm 63 concerts i went to in the 1980's , saw live a band in Paradise City Florida playing before 290'000 called Guns n Roses ! 3 straight years i went to the Texas Jam and saw headlining bands and young up and coming bands like Metallica and they were all playing before 300,000 + each year and Maiden wasnt one of them ! Ozzy was there , DIO was there , Van Halen was in 2 , AC/DC was in 1 and many more !
Okay, bri, calm your moobs. Other people.. all throughout your entire life... will have a differing opinion than yours. Take a deep breath and let's hope that since you've made this comment you've been able to cope with life.
People aren't allowed to broadcast games like this anymore. Just a trio of guys having fun calling a meaningless game in the middle of a long summer while having a beer or two (or ten). I wish Harry was alive long enough call that infamous Steve Bartman pop up playoff game. Harry would have lost his mind on live TV lmao!!
@iron maiden One day they'll win it. In the meantime, it's been 112 years since the Cubs last won a World Series. The Billy Goat Curse lives on *sigh*.
Until recently, I had no idea Harry sat in on radio for the whole nine innings if the TV side didn't have the game. Didn't grow up in Chicagoland, and of course back then those broadcasts weren't available outside the range of the flagship or an affiliate. Great radio. Thom could still be in Chicago if WGN hadn't basically forced him out.
Dave Purpura Two reasons I became a Cubs fan. My hometown had the Cubs rookie league team from 84-89 and seeing Harry Caray and Stoney on WGN and then Thom in the early 90s. Harry made bad baseball fun and great baseball even greater.
@@jasonmullins7115 The Cub's fan base is as big as it is because their games were shown all over the country on WGN, for years and years. I think they made a mistake by leaving WGN.
@@Commenter007 No lol. The cubs fan base is big because most people are fucking morons and could/can relate to "the lovable losers". Fact. Having wgn just added to that.
Harry " Ron I gotta ask you?" "When you go to bed with your wife, Do you wear a tootoo??" F the golden records sent to space. Just full blast this to the end of the cosmos. There are plenty of "spare rib planets" out there!
The first part of this was during the bottom of the 3rd inning......and Harry was already completely bombed.
I love how Harry stills remembers to call the fastball on the outside corner in the middle of a hysterical laughing fit
It's great to hear those voices again. Thanks for posting

Remember when Harry always called the Florida Marlins the Miami Marlins? Now he's right, RIP
He predicted it... 😏👍
Don't get me wrong. I like Thom but when Pat Hughes cam along, he and Ron were a match made in baseball heaven. RIP Harry & Ron❤️❤️🙏🙏

@@KeithE4 He left cubs before 98
Is that Harry or Ron laughing after “How about your wife?” Either way, I’m dying!
Gotta be Harry. I know what Santo's laugh sounds like.
That is a classic Harry cackle.
Definitely Harry.
I love how Harry doesn't seem to give a crap about the game
Because he was 3 sheets to the wind which means he was at his funniest

ummmmmm hes drunk soooooooo.....
The most hilarious baseball game comments of all time
lmfao ummmmmm i never even came close to one single laugh. So ummmm no.

Exchanges like this were what separated a game called by Harry Caray and everyone else.
Can’t have fun like that anymore. Everyone expects clinical professionalism from their team announcers these days.
SOSA spelled backwards is ASOS I miss Harry

Sadly, Harry would not have been on live TV because the networks take over for the playoffs. He surely would have been on the radio though.
As a life long Giants fan I hope to see the Cubs win the World Series one day. Many tears will fall when that happens.
@iron maiden One day they'll win it. In the meantime, it's been 112 years since the Cubs last won a World Series. The Billy Goat Curse lives on *sigh*.
Well as of 2020 it's been 112 years since the Cubs last won a World Series. The Billy Goat Curse lives on *sigh*. Some day they'll win it. Some day.
@@musicman76enator This is a joke, right?
And that’s what’s great about the pace of baseball. You can do comedy and still call the plays.
-------------------------- don't get any better .....game was temporarily secondary .....
I wear a hat Harry, LMAO
I hope y'all will reply t4o this I love Harry Caray he was funny my Grandma Annie called him that holy cow

Christopher Hitt no disrespect but Will Farrell and Ryan Dempster did awful impressions of Harry; didn’t sound like or act like him at all.
Harry said *toupee.
also, it’s spelled tue tue.
Toupe
It be a great place for hair salon advertising in this broadcast 📬
Pat Hughes has included this clip in both of his Baseball Voices tributes to both Harry Caray and Ron Santo cds.
😂😂😂
Classic
Maddux had to go to Atlanta to get his championship. I say "good for him."
Maddux hasn't missed much since leaving the Cubs.
in tears -
Exactly Nick
who else is here after Thom got fired for what he said in 2020
We all are. But also remember that Harry banged August Busch's wife.
Shame, cos Thom was an excellent broadcaster
Thom is no longer in the bussiness
He's never been in business.
incorrect, matty.
@@musicman76enator Thom was a fine broadcaster, not just baseball. Last I heard he's doing college or minor league games these days.
Three legends
The clip of them talking about Ron's hairpiece catching on fire is a clssic
