Description

WGN announcer Pat Hughes presents Harry Caray: Voice of the Fans, an audio/photo tribute to Chicago and St Louis sports broadcaster Harry Caray, one of the most beloved figures in baseball. Caray’s personality was as much a part of his charm as his broadcasting skill, and even ten years after his death, baseball fans across the country recall Caray fondly, both for his play-by play calls and his genuinely excited “Holy Cow!” exclamations during the games.

Pat Hughes has compiled Caray’s most famous calls and broadcasts onto a CD that accompanies the book. By combining Harry’s voice with photos and stories of the Cards and Cubs, Harry Caray: Voice of the Fans will give readers not only a fond memory of Caray, but also a “where were you when...?” for many famous games, such as Ryne Sandberg’s double game-tying home runs in 1984.
