HOLY COW!!! Harry Caray is one of the most recognized names and voices in all of sports. The man simply accomplished every possible accolade, having been inducted into the American Sportscasters Hall of Fame, named "Baseball Announcer of the Year" seven years in a row by The Sporting News, and accepted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by winning the Ford Frick Award. Caray announced for the Chicago Cubs and before that worked as the voice of: Chicago White Sox Baseball, St. Louis Cardinal Baseball, Oakland Athletics Baseball, St. Louis Hawks Basketball, University of Missouri Football, and three Cotton Bowls.
Caray is also unique in the fact that both his son and grandson work as professional sports announcers. His son, Skip, announces Atlanta Braves baseball and his grandson Chip, announces Fox Television Baseball and Chicago Cubs Baseball. Harry was also known for his famous singing of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which he performed during the seventh inning stretch of every Cub game. This tradition began one day when he was singing to himself and somebody put the Public Address System on. His voice was echoed throughout the stadium, and until the day he died Harry was the tradition during the stretch. He broadcast baseball for 52 seasons, and may well be remembered as the most famous announcer of them all. Harry Caray is a legend!
