The Cubs' 1998 home opener was unique in that it was the first since Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray passed away Feb. 18 that year. His widow, Dutchie, led the seventh-inning stretch with new TV play-by-play man Chip Caray, Harry's grandson, in the booth. Cubs starter Steve Trachsel had a hard time finishing the inning.
