Chicago’s 'Jack of all Trades' Brickhouse was the face of WGN-TV for five decades

Jack Brickhouse was a jack of all trades. From car shows to conventions, and from Popes to presidents, Brickhouse interviewed just about everyone and covered just about every kind of story.

Why doesn't Wrigley Field have a statue of Jack Brickhouse? For forty-one years, from 1940 until 1981, he covered the Cubs while nine U. S. Presidents served. Brickhouse should have been the Cubs personality honored with a statue at the Friendly Confines.

[@sheawhitey5009]

Jack Brickhouse could do it all. I used to live five blocks away from Wrigley Field. Baseball/wrestling/ football/ basketball you name the sport he could announce anything. They gave Harry CAREY the flowers FIRST. WHERE JACK SHOULD HAVE HAD HIS STATUE BEFORE HARRY& HIS SIGNATURE CATCHPHRASE AFTER A HOMERUN HEY, HEY. HE WAS JUST CHICAGO ICON AS FAR AS SPORTS ANNOUNCERS GO

[@shaystern2453]

brickhouse was HORRIBLE

[@shaystern2453]

Did you catch any footballs or Baseballs? I once saw old NFL footage of kids standing outside the stadium when the bears were playing.
