Harry Kalas is better...always was, always will be.

I've got just one question....

If you were a hotdog, would you eat yourself?

Harry was fun. He was the only reason to watch the Cubs for many years on WGN. You never knew what he was going to say and that is what made it worthwhile. Drunken fans, day game at Wrigley and Harry gave us all a great alternatitive to soap operas on TV for many years. For those of you who enjoy Will Ferell's Harry act, you ain't seeen nothin' until you check out John Campanera. He did an act on one of the first ESPY shows that is downright hilarious. Let's all raise a glass to Harry!

Harry Caray was the kind of colorful character that sports needs more of. He was part of the the Wrigley Field experience that I remembered as a kid - Day games (No Lights!), the ivy walls, the Bleacher Bums, and Harry's famous 7th Inning Stretch when he'd almost fall out of the broadcast booth singing "Take me out to the Ballgame" (At Wrigley fans would constantly buy beer for Harry and have it sent to the booth. By the 7th Inning, he could get a little tipsy.)
He may not have been the best play by play man in the League, but he was a lot of fun.

Somebody must be paying Milo a lot of money to say anything nice about that senile old fart. Milo is a pro, but Caray was like the grandpa who had a stroke or something and would poop himself and not bother to clean himself up.

Harry Caray: Yes! Hey! Now Ken we all know thta the moon is not made of green cheese.

Dr. Ken Waller: Yes! That's true Harry.

Harry Caray: But what if it were made of barbeque spare ribs would you eat it then?


Happy Birthday Harry!

At Wrigley fans would constantly buy beer for Harry and have it sent to the booth. By the 7th Inning, he could get a little tipsy.

Sorry eyes, fans buying Harry beer occurred at old Comiskey during the 70's when his broadcast booth was located in the outfield, not at Wrigley. The last row of seats was no more than 5' below his window, a fan standing on his seat could easily reach Harry. When they renovated Comiskey in the early 80's they moved the booth behind home plate, ending the tradition.

errrr... death day. Sorry.

Harry Caray's really the only thing about the Cubbies that was worth watching over the past, oh I don't know, 40 years. Happy 100th guys!

"Jose Viscaino - How does a guy from Mexico lose a ball in the sun?"

Here's to you, Harry.

"And here's a good looking Spaniard from East Moline"

RIP Harry, cheers!

You know, statues usually don't do a good job of capturing the features of their intended subjects, but that one is pretty much dead on

Having worked at a radio station that was a Cubs affiliate, I spent many an afternoon listening to Harry. Didn't realize it has been 10 years. While his broadcasting may have been failing in his later years, he was as much a Cubbie as Ryne Sandberg and deservedly so. "A one, a two, a three..."

"Millions" to observe the 10th anniversary of Harry Carey's death? I think someone's overstating someone else's importance. Get a clue, Chicago Tribune.

When Harry was doing the White Sox games he was great. He knew the game and was brutally honest. His years with the Cubs was not even the same guy to me.
Milo Hamilton acted like a bitter **** because he was a boring guy that no one here really liked.
You had to hear this loser try to do DePaul basketball games with his stupid "Holy Toledo" whine ever 10 seconds. Pure torture. He was forgotten in Chicago as soon as he left.

Harry was a class act I miss every day. While everyone thought he drank while he was working he never had a lick of any alchohol during the game. He put rootbeer in the bud cup and sipped on it as he also never went to the bathroom during a game either. He waited until after the game to get plastered. Its all in steves stones book about harry. God Bless ya harry we miss ya Old Buddy!

Oznecid, that's Dicenzo spelled backwards.
