Harry Caray: b. 1914, d. 1998. This Bud's* for you!

Too blind to play baseball Too soft for football Too slow for basketball No future in sports at all Those who can't do, teach Those who can't teach, announce He broadcast games for the White Sox and Cubs When he wasn't out tapping a keg in a pub... A microphone in one hand A can of Bud in the other Harry Caray, the fans' favorite Every beer guzzler's brother _______________________________________ *Budweiser Beer

Haray Caray's voice should be in a sound bit under baseball announcers in the dictionary.

What a guy! Greatest broadcaster every. Loved your Ode, Gershon. Brought back some of those great memories of listen to the Cubs games on the radio as a boy. Thanks for sharing, Bill

Harry epitomized 'Joe Sixpack.' Looks like baseball players and owners have now frittered away whatever goodwill remains from Harry's Day. :) gw

Are you too young to remember Dizzy Dean on Mutual's Game of the Day? Enjoyed, Gershon! Aloha!

I hope that you're too young to remember Ole Diz on that show too, Rico. (I've heard of it, but it's a bit before my time). Cheers, Gershon
