God knows we all miss Harry Caray!!!!! Forever will be the real and only singer of the 7th inning for ever and ever in my opinion.

[@ir10031981]

Harry Caray is the man, he can never be replaced, he truly is a legend, he's to Chicago what Bob Uecker is to Milwaukee Brewers fans.

[@traceyrushbrook4843]

It pays to do ALL your homework ❤️

[@rmaxwellcot12]

I met Harry Caray when I went to Wrigley as a child and will never forget the experience!!! Harry was Mr Wrigley

[@jcdguez98]

Did anyone else think that was ted Cruz

[@Itsjimmay]

Pepe Trump you mean it wasn't?

[@jcdguez98]

Jimmy Cotreau lmao no

[@RedMoonCreates]

honestly for a second i was like "Ted Cruz?"

[@JeremyGalloway]

That is absolutely Ted Cruz, no doubt.

[@shibadoge633]

Ricketts acts as a Texas politician part time. You didn't know that?

[@kelvinbirch5641]

You'll be forever missed Harry

[@wxsarge07]

Just make this the 7th inning stretch and leave it at this. Listen to the roar of the crowd at the end!

[@austinfeinberg955]

That's crazy that Ryan Dempster decided to play the video of Harry Caray sing the 7th inning stretch on July 3rd, 2015.

[@kev6141]

As a kid growing up in Colorado in the 80s when cable tv was new we got the Cubs games on WGN....many summer afternoons were spent watching Harry, Steve Stone and the old Cubbies. Good, care free days

[@milepost4846]

Ah the wonders of cable back in the 1980s when my grandpa got it. Watching WGN and Cubs baseball with him and seeing Harry Carey and the 7th inning stretch! Great memories.

[@rhondapohlman509]

That was so much fun at Wrigley, seeing this and singing!

[@itsbraylen.916]

Brings back memories! My little guy loves him some Harry Caray and asked if he could sing during the 7th inning stretch with him someday. :( Wish he had an opportunity to meet such a character. Go Cubs Go!

[@dimonddan3660]

Harry Caray is an icon in my city Chicago whenever you think of the Cubs you think of mr. Caray and then you think of Chicago I'm so lucky and grateful that I grew up in the best city in the world Chicago Illinois baby the home of the Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs Chicago Fire the home of deep dish pizza the home of the Italian beef Italian sausage wowzers and the home of Al Capone better put some respect on the name of my city

[@jhamlin726]

At first I started wondering what the fuck Ted Cruz was doing on TV.

[@jctripplesticks]

I thought so too. Maybe those conspiracy theorists were right about body doubles in politics

[@Liam-Carlson]

I thought it was Ted Cruz

[@louishamilton9648]

A TANKED-UP Carey alone is worth the price of admission

[@hithere1027]

The Cubs REALLY need to have Harry Caray sing every 7th inning stretch at Wrigley. Not "guest" conductors. They are neither conductors nor singers. Harry was the total package!!! PLEASE CUBS.....PLEASE! As a native New Yorker, Harry Caray via WGN is how I became a Cubs fan when my parents got cable tv on our little old country road back in 1990; not because my parents didn't want cable tv, but because cable tv didn't come out our way until then!! SO Harry Caray IS the reason I am a Cubs fan for the past 26 years and for LIFE!!!!!!!!!! I'll never forget my first trip to Wrigley. I was still a youngin' and was walking about the concourse well before the game started. I was on the press box level approaching the stands in front of the press box area. All of a sudden I heard this loud commotion. I had no idea what was going on. Well, Harry had fallen and was out of the booth for about 6 weeks. Just so happened that he returned to the booth this game. The commotion was people screaming as he came up the ramp in a golf cart. I ended up standing less than 6 feet away from where Harry got off the cart to go up to the booth!! GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!

[@jackblack496]

I was at his return game as well ... great story you shared here. Go Cubs... Dynasty!

[@staggmovie]

I agree or they should take turns between a tape of Harry Caray and even Ron Santo, there was during his last I don't know how many years of his life Ron Santo would even lead the stretch where he would do it from either the radio booth where he mainly did it from there, but sometimes he would be in the Cubs tv booth provided of course the game being broadcasted by the Cubs tv annoucers and not a game being broadcasted either on FOX or ESPN. Last Tuesday they you would be happy to learn that they did play in fact I believe this very same footage of Harry Caray singing the stretch at Wrigley Field right up on the video board.

[@stecklein7]

This was my childhood :D

[@scottopga]

That was good

[@justinroark88]

Which game is that video from? The Cubs played it at Wrigley in 2022 when I went.

[@debbielloyd7362]

I wish I could meet him

[@anthonyrisley1225]

They should never go back to anything else. You could use different versions throughout the season or in different years.

[@chad3232132]

Holy shit... the Zodiac Killer!

[@jaxsonleegudeman1423]

Harry Caray

[@Salvatore1268]

In the 2003 Nlcs game 6 this was the clip that should have. Een played for the 7th inning stretch, no damm way the Cubs lose then

[@musicman76enator]

111 years since the Cubs have won a championship. *sigh*. Someday they will win one. Someday.

[@JoseTwitterFan]

Equilibrium Restored in Wrigley Field!

[@stephanieforshee80]

#🍻🥂🍾🏆🏅🥊

[@gamingmaster-rp1lg]

0:53

[@atwaterkent911]

I have no idea why they did not do this during the WS games at Wrigley...

[@atwaterkent911]

But the broadcast focused on Eddie, unfortunately. The fans at Wrigley enjoyed Harry...

[@jctcox1]

Well Harry carry is dead

[@atwaterkent911]

Harry was/is the Cubs...

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

Its the guy at the beginning Ted Cruz?

[@stephanieforshee80]

#CUBS and that is a.....⚾️ W/R (🏉)ap!!!!!

[@stephanieforshee80]

😉

[@disabledaccount4133]

Don't wanna be rude here but Harry looks like some drunk priest. It's like he's throwing holy water at the fans with his microphone.

[@wxsarge07]

+BryLopez Oh no, you're not being rude. He's plowed. He did that all the time. He'd call the game in innings 1-3 on WGN, go on the radio for 4-6. By the time he came back on the air he was smashed. But that's why we loved him.

[@jackblack496]

You wouldn't understand

[@augie6479]

Dan Endris I remember moving from upstate Michigan to the Detroit area when I was little, where I could see Cubs games on WGN for the first time. I remember Harry Caray slurring so bad midway through the game and being too young to know why! I look back on that and love it too...I get a tear in my eye when I watch him sing here.

[@mikec6617]

Blocking the rooftop views killed the Cubby charm forever. Totally uncool.

[@stevenlapidus5939]

I feel so sorry for those people having to drink Budweiser. No wonder the guy in the Cubs shirt looked ill from drinking that dreadful beer.
