Harry Caray on Letterman, July 31, 1986

[@jackjones3657]

Harry was a legend. He made it fun to watch even when the Cubs were losing. It wasn't all about him, he genuinely wanted the fans along for the ride.

[@bigman10239]

they don't make announcers like him or vin scully anymore...

[@dovbarleib3256]

He announced 25 years for the Cardinals and 16 years for the Cubs. For whom was he more a fan? Obviously for a team who actually won 3 World Series during his tenure.

[@Learnamericanenglishonline]

He was a great guy. He made it fun and interesting to watch baseball on TV even when the Cubs were losing.

[@rickwilliams967]

Don't they always lose? So you're saying, he actually made it worth watching it? Like he's literally the only reason to watch right?

[@subg8858]

Harry called home runs as if he had never seen one before

[@tractioncontroloff9796]

The world needs more Harry Caray’s!

[@GentlemensAcademy]

Growing up in Chicago, this man is a legend. May he rest in peace.

[@beverett417]

Too bad he died before the 98 season started😥😥😥 Imagine him with calling all of Sammy Sosa's home runs😃😃😃👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@davestelling]

What a tremendous broadcaster's voice, and a helluva regular guy. Rest easy, Harry...

[@blueconversechucks]

He sounds kind of like mel Allen from twib.

[@padraig29]

What a great clip. "l never missed a day,.... I never missed a night either". I'd say he was fun to be around. Both Legendary.

[@vikkinicholson2300]

who wouldn't want to go over the nights game w/Harry at the local pub....what a trip. Perpetual grin on his face....lovin' every minute of it.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I don't know a thing about baseball, and this is the first time I've encountered Mr. Harry Caray - but for some reason I love this man. He's obviously spent a LOT of time hearing his voice greatly amplified. His enunciation is incredible - I rely a bit on lip-reading, so they way he speaks is like having captions on and in bold. He seems like the sort of guy who, had he lived to see 2020, could make me feel alright about how the year has gone.

[@kooneya]

Same here. I love how he took off on the interview. Fun aand loveable person. David wipes off a little sweat of his brow. Harry could've replaced him haha

[@ChairmanMeow1]

he was just such a fun loving guy. wish he could have been here to see us finally win it all.

I'm a Cardinals fan from St. Louis and I wish Harry Caray would have been alive for the Cubs world series win. He was a class act.

[@carbajal8283]

I'm a lifelong Cards fan (born in 82), but I grew up watching the Cubs on WGN because it was the only baseball I could watch on TV. We didn't get much Cardinals baseball on TV where I'm from. My grandpa (a Yanks fan) and I used to love listening to Harry call the ball games. I miss those days. Harry was such an awesome man.

[@BluesImprov]

I grew up listening to Harry calling the Cardinals games in St. Louis. . .Couldn't believe it when they fired him. . .At one time in the 60's the Cardinals had a fantastic announce booth consisting of Harry Caray, Jack Buck, and Joe Garagiola. . .I loved listening to all three calling a Cardinals game. . .Even when the team wasn't doing well, Harry made the game fun to listen to. . .Those were the days. . .

[@carljansen6896]

This man was an absolute national treasure.

[@trobbins88]

Just imagine the stories that commentators like Harry Caray and Ernie Harwell could tell, the players that they have seen. I have been a lifelong Tigers fan, and a fan of Ernie Harwell...he was the voice of Michigan summers. Commentators like Caray and Harwell cannot be replaced.

[@georgeg7714]

Agree. We have Mr. Baseball Bob Uecker here in Milwaukee. Another legend

[@matthewgoodtimes3555]

I grew up in Chicago born in 1970 and it seems like he was always talking in the background everywhere we went. He was a character when getting his buzz on, players would be running around the bases and he wouldn't be paying attention off talking to Jim and Nancy from Wasgeegan, Wisconsin on their 50th anniversary or something besides what was happening on the field. Hilarious and classic !! Hey Hey Hey !!

[@ShmuelWeintraub]

Thanks so much for posting this. I watched and recorded it live in the summer of '86 but somewhere along the line (through too many moves and too many different cities/towns), I lost the recording. It's so great to hear it again!

[@itscork]

Damn I miss this guy. We love ya Harry. This is the year!

[@Bobman-ml5qf]

I was born in '94, a suburb North outside of Chicago, and I have been a Cubbie fan since I was taken to a Cubs game, when I was little. Sadly I didn't get to hear or see this guy in his element. But luckily I have easy access to it now. But I'm jealous for the Cub fans like you who grew up, or at least saw this guy. But something I got to share with my mom (who was born in a suburb outside of Chicago too) and fans like you. We got to see the Cubs win the World Series!

[@banjoosborne9931]

I miss that old man every single Cubs game. Harry converted me when I was 11 years old and I'd give anything if he had gotten to see the Cubs in sweet 2016. Thanks, Harry, here's to you.

[@davem1212]

One of the reasons I became a Cubs fan in 84'.

[@Mark-sj3xb]

You probably became a Cub fan in '84 because you jumped on the band wagon because they were good that year.

[@tootalazaaz]

Harry is the best of them all. He called it like he saw it. If your to young I'm sorry you missed out. Not Anyone in this day and age comes close to his greatness.

I went to Carey’s restaurant in Chicago years ago. Sadly, he had already passed away. I wanted to meet him. But I was too late. The food was great however! The steak 🥩 was 2 inches thick. The biggest steak 🥩 I ever saw on a plate! I thought to myself Chicago people like to live big. This is the big city and the steaks are big, too. I’m from a smaller city. So I highly recommend his restaurant! The food and atmosphere were fantastic but he wasn’t around anymore so that was my only regret. God Bless Harry Carey! What a Character!
