Baseball Voices

Description

But Harry always felt like he worked directly for the fans. He was a fan himself. When he would say, â??You canâ??t beat fun at the old ballpark,â? believe me, he meant every word of it! He broadcast games from the bleachers with a cooler full of beer. He tried to catch foul balls with a big fishing net. He wished Happy Birthday on the air to innumerable fans, and signed countless autographs for people. And he loved to lead the fans in the 7th inning stretch singing of â??Take Me Out to the ballgame.â? Harry probably sold more cases of beer and more tickets to the ball park than any other announcer. Harry Caray entered the broadcasters wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, the 13th recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award. Harry was simply one of the greatest baseball announcers ever, ranking way up there on any list with, among others, Vin Scully and Mel Allen. As a broadcaster, he could do it all. He had a distinctive voice, charisma, enthusiasm, style, humor, longevity and consistency. He had that great home run call - â??It might be! It could be! IT IS! A home run!â? - and the talent to make even a dull game come to life.
