Harry may be a legend, but as a broadcaster (at least in the years I heard him) he left a lot to be desired. Here is an actual radio call by Harry sometime in the late days of his career. Bases loaded, one out..."FAIR BALL..........HE'S SAFE!!!"
Then about 10 seconds later we get a shred or two of what really happened.
I lived up around Chicago from 1975-1999 & I heard a LOT of Harry Caray. Way too much, in fact.
If anybody cares, I really like(d) Vin Scully (who has lost a lot lately, I'm hearing) & Ray Scott, who used to do Twins games, but was best known for the NFL Packers games he did.
