Harry Caray leads 'Field Of Dreams' crowd in rendition of 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' | MLB on FOX

[@donwilliams2526]

I’m not a Cubs fan but this gave me goosebumps. Remember watching many Cubs games on tv when I was younger and Harry was a huge reason why we enjoyed them so much. Nicely done MLB. This was the perfect time and place to do this.

[@jaggerdebusk14]

This was cool. If you build it Harry will come!

[@lavelllucas]

I am glad I didn't see this live. I would have had a heart attack from shock. I watched so many Cubs games with my dad and Harry Caray and Steve Stone were my favorite part of the game. CLASSIC

[@djmontyforyou]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@xoacatl]

that was surreal! but it brought back a lot of memories of growing up seeing him on WGN at my grandma's house in The Chi and going to my first cubs game in 1990 (vs the Mets)

[@thedukeboi]

i watched this with my family last night. everything about it was so awesome

[@jayking5722]

It would be a real field of dreams if Harry walked through the cornfield.

[@analogkid4957]

Lol yes that would have spooked the fans out and we still have over 2 and a half months until Halloween

[@conservativeeducator5457]

He was there. Unfortunately, Harry was sloshed and missed his cue. The hologram was plan B.

[@Midwest_Redneck]

Lifetime Cardinals fan here- my family used to watch Cubs games on WGN just for Harry Caray. We loved him. My parents grew up when he called games for the Cardinals with Jack Buck. It was awesome to see this last night! It took me back to when I was a kid. Those classic baseball announcers like Harry can never be replaced.

[@hockeyguy2005]

I grew up in mid 80s/90s and the cubs didnt have lights on the field for their home games, and were always a 2:10 start time. Well i got out of school at 2:00 and off the bus about 2:10. Like you i was out of market but cable had WGN Network and the cubs games. Steve Stone and Harry Caray were the best storytellers in baseball. I would watch /listen to every game while doing homework. Every now and then I'll go back and listen to Harry's "As sure as God made green apples" speech about the cubs and the world series. Its just so good. He felt like America's grandfather. That was a special time. Still a cubs fan to this day.

[@mitchkupietz]

Is Jack Buck related to Joe Buck? Hope not lol

[@Midwest_Redneck]

@@mitchkupietz Jack Buck is Joe Buck's father. Jack worked for the Cardinals from the 1950s until shortly before his death in 2002. He also called NFL games on the radio opposite Hank Stram.

[@trobbins88]

Not a Cubs fan, but this was pretty cool to see...fits the atmosphere of a Field Of Dreams game perfectly.

[@mariopalos9238]

Doesn't it also throw the atmosphere off? When I think of FOD, I think old-timey, and Hologram Harry just isn't old-timey.

[@RustyB14]

What a creative thing to do to keep Harry Caray’s memory alive -my favorite broadcaster

[@JR_1400]

They do this in futbol all the time fans get wild and chant through the whole game

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

Die hard cubs fan, I love the attempt and gesture, Harry animations and face could be better but it’s great to show our iconic Harry singing this, great for the new generations to see!

[@nolan2606]

Just an example of how beautiful this sport is. It’s timeless and traditional.

[@themcadamsminute8494]

Yep! The MLB has to use all kinds of gimmicks to try to keep its fan base engaged! Can’t just have an enjoyable sport to watch!

[@scottmcdermand5350]

They did this right. Amazing tribute to one of the biggest Cubs icon in history.

[@johnjohn4444]

It truly is a field of dream! ❤️

[@cubswin6779]

The only people in a tizzy over this don't even know who Harry is. I loved this! Takes me back to the days of rushing home from school to watch Harry and Steve on WGN!

[@sillygoose635]

no, they know who he is. they wouldn't be upset if they didn't.

[@pamelabamford5838]

Fantastic! First time I heard this song was on a nursery rhyme CD when my grandson was 2 years old (he is 31 this year.) I am British so had never heard of the song, but I loved it so much I kept playing the CD all the time just to sing along to it, I was over the moon when my American friend Lonnie sent me this video today, as I was telling him last evening about the song.

[@yankeecub]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@Enid2Sacramento]

Having issues with some of the decisions in baseball this and last year... but I gotta say, the whole "Field of Dreams" idea was fantastic! Well done!

Huge Mets fan here but I always loved Harry and his “Take me out to the Ballgame “

[@crazeyjoe]

Funny Harry Caray story/ At a Cubs practice (not a game) during spring training game, a friend of mine asked me to get some autographs on his band's poster (Flotsam and Jetsam). There were a few players mulling the infield. So I thought I would leave empty handed. Then, Harry Caray was walking across the field in my direction, so I asked him to sign the poster. The field crew had some equipment laying around in foul ground. While Mr Caray was approching me, he stepped on a rake and the handle smacked him in the noggin. Myself as well as the folks around me did our best to hold in the laughs out of respect. He still was kind enough to sign the poster, My friend received his HK autograph and I received my lasting, albeit unusual memory. Respect to HK, RIP!

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

Why all the negativity? I thought this was a cool gesture. Especially for the long timer Cubs fans such as myself (27 years now). It's obvious this was made using the MLB The Show engine. Probably the closest we will ever get to seeing Harry root the Cubs on one last time.

[@jasonpeet6198]

Because some people believe using holograms like this are being used by the givernment to distract us from reality

[@RustyB14]

I come from the standpoint as a Cardinals fan and Harry used to have a net in the press box behind home plate hoping to catch foul balls

[@coltonaustin0]

Didn't know Carry but the 3D hologram is outstanding, the future technologies ahead of me.. I can't wait to explore

[@theintentionalnovice7718]

I love hearing Harry sing it! (But the hologram was weird and semi-creepy.) I'm probably in the minority, but just the audio (or a video screen of him signing it) would've probably been cooler.

[@danmertz92]

I agree. There is plenty of video of him singing. Use one of those rather than the creepy CGI. Still great to hear him sing the song though.

[@gr8daynegb]

The one from the front of Harry wasn't so bad, but from behind it look like someone pretending to be Harry. Harry is the reason why the Cubs were my NL favorite team growing up while the Brewers were my favorite team overall. How could you not fall in love with baseball hearing/watching Harry in the afternoon and listening to Uecker at night?

[@sethpeacock2453]

This is insane man

Even his hologram is on a 26 day bender

It does look creepy but I do appreciate the sentiment and understand how fitting it is with the theme of "Field of Dreams". Would have loved there to have been an Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, and Hack Wilson hologram coming out of the cornfield.

i like songing take me out ball game in 7 inng

[@cochacopen]

That's not too bad from a distance or from behind. Up close when he talks is a little off, but considering it's relatively unused/new tech, not too bad. Wouldn't be surprised if ten or twenty years from now there will be hologram representations in the baseball hall of fame.

[@thingmaker67]

So weird. I'd rather it were just video of the real Harry. Holograms are wax figures that move. Creepy. Like frickin princess Leia.

[@Flichter]

how is this a "hologram" if it's not actually there or visible in real life? Clearly a hologram wasn't actually projected in the box, otherwise the fans would be looking up towards the box or filming the hologram with their phones. Soooo.... this is literally just CGI, no different than the stupid Fox NFL robot that gets added over top live footage for the TV audience, but no one actually there is able to see it. That's not what a "hologram" is lol
