Welcome to GenX Classic Sports, the podcast where we revisit the unforgettable athletes, teams, and moments that shaped our sports memories growing up.
⚾ This week on GenX Classic Sports, we're celebrating one of the most unforgettable voices in baseball history—Harry Caray. Long before sports talk radio and social media personalities, Harry became a star simply by being himself: passionate, unpredictable, and completely devoted to the game. Join us as we follow his remarkable journey from his early days in St. Louis, through his legendary years with the Cardinals, his brief stop in Oakland, his colorful run with the White Sox, and finally to national fame as the voice of the Chicago Cubs on WGN.
Along the way, we'll revisit the players, teams, and moments that defined generations of baseball fans, and explore how a broadcaster became every bit as famous as the stars on the field. Whether you remember hearing "Holy Cow!" on a summer afternoon or singing along during the seventh-inning stretch, this episode is a nostalgic trip back to a time when Harry Caray helped make baseball feel like home. ⚾🎙️

SPEAKER_00Alright, everybody. Welcome back to Gen X Classic Sports. I'm your host, Sean Enus, and here's a fun fact. I think the dirtiest joke I have ever been told in my life was told by the men's restroom attendant at Harry Carey's downtown restaurant in Chicago. True story. True story. We were there, uh, myself and actually a couple of the founding fathers of the podcast here, and another buddy, we were there to see the Cubs for a few days back in the late 90s, and um pay our paid our respects by going to Harry Carey's restaurant. And the the attendant in there, which that was new for me, I don't go many places where there's an attendant in the bathroom, I can promise you. But yeah, anyway, so the joke that he told, I still remember it, and it's still one of the best ones I've ever heard. But anyway, moving on, enough about me. I'm glad you're with me today because we're gonna talk about one of the most recognizable announcers and voices in sports history. Not a player, not a manager, not an owner, a broadcaster. But this isn't just any broadcaster, this is Harry Carey. And for many Gen X sports fans, hearing Harry Carey's voice, that gravelly, unmistakable Harry Carey voice on a spring or summer afternoon, that meant one thing, and that was baseball. Hey, in the spring, maybe you were supposed to be doing your homework, or maybe you were even home sick that day. But, you know, if it was summer and you had the television on, for me and my friends, the wiffle ball game couldn't start until the Cubs game ended. So I'd I have many memories of that, uh standing around waiting on the final outs of the Cubs game so we could go outside and play wiffle ball. And always there in the background of those WGN games was Harry Carey. You remember Harry Carey shouting, Holy cow, and then leading the crowd and take me out to the ball game. And he just sounded like the happiest guy in the world because he got paid to watch baseball. And why wouldn't he be? Um, but you know, Harry Carey's story is about more than just his time with the Cubs. Long before he became a national icon on WGN. He was building his reputation back in St. Louis, and you know, then he made another trip, he made a trip to Chicago to another team. He had a brief stop in Oakland that I didn't even know about. And his career ended up stretching more than 50 years of baseball history. And just think about the people that this guy watched play every day. He called games featuring Stan Musical, uh, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Reggie Jackson, Ryan Sandberg, not to mention those were just the teams that he covered, not to mention the opponents, you know, the um Tony Gwyns and so forth. And along the way, he became something almost unheard of in sports. He was a broadcaster who was as famous or maybe more famous than a bunch of the players were. Very unusual. But I I really believe that he and John Madden are kind of the same type of story to me. There's they had a lot of similarities, in my opinion. And so, um, yeah, as much fame as the very players that he was covering. And we're gonna talk a little bit about his journey city by city and team by team, and we'll discover a little bit about how this kid from St. Louis became one of the most beloved personalities, icons, and all of the game of baseball across that wonderful history. So, hey, grab a hot dog, pour yourself a cold one for Harry Carey, and settle in. This is the story of Harry Carey. Harry Carey entered the world on March 1st, 1914. He passed away on February 18th, 1998, as it had already been that long, and he was 83 years old. His name at time of birth was Harry Christopher Carabina, and he lived and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. And life as a youngster was not always easy for Harry. He barely remembered his own father, who had fought in World War I, and his mother, Daisy, died when Harry was only um, I believe, 14, pretty young. And so he was largely raised by relatives of his in St. Louis. His aunt and uncle on his mom's side in St. Louis, um, they're the ones who actually raised him, and I think he went to live with them immediately, you know, after his mom passed. He attended Webster Groves High School in St. Louis. Life being as hard as it was for him, baseball was something that became an obsession with Harry. And like millions of boys growing up in America during the early 20th century, he dreamed of becoming a MLB, Major League Baseball player, and he played any chance he could get, and he followed the Cardinals religiously, and he listened to games on the radio. And at some point in high school, legend says he was offered a spot, and I don't know why it would be this team, but he was supposedly offered a spot on Alabama's college team. But back then, you know, there weren't full ride scholarships for baseball players, and there was no NIL money. So for a for a poor kid to go, you know, that far away to college was still a money problem, so he didn't go. And I think that fueled him even more, maybe to do some of the things he did in life. So his poor eyesight kept him from joining the military, which was his backup plan, and he couldn't even he couldn't do that because of his eyes. And you saw his glasses later on in life, you know what I'm talking about. And so, no military, no college baseball. He turned his passion, which was baseball, into untold hours of listening to the game on the radio. Um, and of course, in the 20s and 30s, radio was everything. There was no television, and and Harry loved the way that broadcasters painted the the picture with words. He and he went to college very briefly after high school, but he did drift towards radio work. Now, how that happened back then without a degree is not that big of a mystery. I mean, lots of people did it because college degrees weren't that uh, you know, they weren't just passed out to anybody. So plenty of people got into plenty of professions, minus the college degree, and he definitely drifted towards radio work. And the pay was terrible and it wasn't glamorous at all, and the hours were long, but Harry found his true calling, which was a microphone. And by the late 1930s and early 1940s, he was calling games in minor league and local markets. For example, he called in Joliet, Illinois, and Kalamazoo, Michigan, somewhere along the way. He was convinced to change his name to Carrie because Carabina was just too much of a mouthful to say on the radio. And he carried that into the early 40s. He called hockey for the St. Louis Flyers. So he stayed there in town doing that. And he was learning his craft, bouncing around in minor markets for baseball and hockey and whatever he could get, developing his style, his voice, um, and realizing that he wasn't the same as all the other radio announcers. He knew he wasn't polished and he knew he wasn't formal, and he wasn't trying to sound like some speech teacher at college, you know. He wanted to sort of have the fans be more relatable to him, so he sounded like a fan, and that ended up becoming his greatest strength, and I think that's certainly why I and others love the guy, and eventually that lack of polish and that lack of style became his signature, and it's the very thing that made him famous in the long haul. And there was just such a charm to Harry's whole persona, really. So the the Cardinal years for him started in 1945, the St. Louis Cardinal years. If you're under 40 or 50, you probably think of Harry Carey as the Cubs announcer, but for people older than that, Harry belonged to the Cardinals, which started around 1945. Somehow during the early days as a Cardinals announcer, he also called some of the St. Louis Browns games, which were the St. Louis American League team. So um he he spent 1945 calling for the Cardinals and the Browns. And I don't know how that worked. I don't know if that was uh whichever team was at home. I have no idea. They probably had very opposite schedules. And so in 45 and 46, he spent time primarily with the Cardinals, but he did call some St. Louis Browns games as well. So his 25 years there in St. Louis from 45 to uh 69, that transformed him from more of a local guy into one of baseball's main voices, honestly. And when he joined the Cardinals in 45, of course, America was just emerging from World War II. Baseball was entering a new era, and Harry was stepping into one of the most prestigious organizations in all of sports at that time because the Cardinals were a powerhouse. And so over the next quarter century, Harry called games with a guy named Stretch Miller, was one of his partners, another guy named Gus Mancuso, another guy named Milo Hamilton, and then eventually some names you might be more familiar with, Joe Garijola and Jack Buck. Those were all of his different partners over his 25 years with the Cardinals. And Harry called games featuring some obviously great players, and most notably back then it would have been Stan the Man at Museal, right? And you know, Musville wasn't a just a great player. He was a he was such an institution in baseball back then, supposedly a perfect gentleman, superstar, obviously a future Hall of Famer, and Harry, of course, had front row seats to all of that. So imagine getting to see that every day, every season, and therefore watching one of the best hitters in Musville that ever lived. But also imagine every day and every season watching guys like Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Tim McCarver, Kurt Flood, and on and on. The Cardinals stayed contenders pretty consistently, and Harry, of course, was their voice, and his popularity exploded across the Midwest. And if I've said in earlier podcasts that I've been told my family all the way down in North Louisiana could hear Cardinals games way back then. So if they heard them in the 30s and or in the 40s and 50s, they were listening to Harry Carey. So, you know, a lot of families listened to him over their dinner, and truck drivers tuned in, of course, going up and down the highways of America. And it just you always just feel like Harry was sitting right beside you, right? And Harry always had a gift for making you feel like you were right there in the action. The Cardinals reached multiple World Series during Harry's tenure. In fact, the 64 team became one of the defining clubs of the decade, and of course, Harry's there. And then 1967, uh, Harry was there for the champion team there. And by the late 60s, he wasn't just simply broadcasting Cardinals baseball. He was part, a big part of Cardinals baseball, and that's why what happened later on shocked everyone. Now, one of the things that I found in the research that was really interesting to me is at the end of his Cardinals tenure, Harry got hit by a car, okay, late in 1968. He got hit by a car on a city street and he broke both of his legs. And Cubs ownership, which is the the Bush family, Budweiser family, they went out of their way to help him get treatment and get him back to full strength, and they sent him down to a renowned Florida facility for rehabilitation. And you know, all of that helped him quickly get his strength back and come back and be part of the the team. Um he broadcast three World Series with them in 64, 67, 68, and he broadcast the 1957 All-Star game, and he had the call, he was on the call for Stan Musil's 3,000th hit. And despite all of that and paying for his rehab when he hurt his when he broke gotten his legs broken, after the 69 season, Harry was gone. And them separating, meaning him and the Cardinals and the Bush family separating, is is kind of its own story. Um relationships with the ownership had deteriorated. There were all kinds of rumors about him having an affair with um one of the Bush family daughters-in-law, and he always rejected that as a big lie, and you know, the stories just kept going around and speculation kind of grew. And so nobody knows. I don't think I didn't see anything definitive, so nobody knows the exact reasons, but um a 25-year relationship, partnership ended, and the Cardinals fans back then couldn't believe it. You know, it'd be like Ben Scully leaving the Dodgers. Um, but anyway, it it ended an era, and Harry needed a new home after the 1969 season. And in 1970, Harry landed with the Oakland Athletics for one season only. On paper, it seemed promising. Uh the A's were young and talented, and they were beginning to build a dynasty there, and they had some young stars on the roster, Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Sal Bando, Bita Blue. You get the idea. And but for whatever reason, on Harry's end of things, it never kind of clicked, it never felt right. And part of the issue was the kind of um meddlesome ways of Charlie Finley, who owned the A's. And Charlie Finley was known for a lot of his outlandish moves as a as an owner. He was a brilliant marketing guy and innovative and all that, but he was also difficult to get along with sometimes for people, and so he was a micromanager type, and he definitely had his thoughts about how to do the broadcast. And Harry, of course, thought he'd put his time in and didn't need any input on how to do the podcast or the broadcast. So they kind of butted heads, okay? And it strained the relationship pretty quickly. So after just one season, Harry moved on from the Oakland A's. And really, the only thing about the Oakland A's trip for Harry for one year you can say is that it eventually killed the year long enough so that he can show up in 1971 back uh not back in, but for the first time in Chicago as an announcer, but not with the team that you think. Harry showed up in 1971 with the White Sox down on the South Side. So he was already a respected broadcaster, obviously, and he was just now kind of starting to figure out his groove and become the guy that we Gen Xers remember. So that transformation truly happened in Chicago, and it happened, it started happening with the White Sox. They were not a very glamorous franchise, they didn't draw very much attendance, they did not have a national profile like the Yankees or Dodgers or Cardinals, but Harry, despite all that, when he got there, he flourished and and there was less pressure on him, probably had a lot to do with it, and he had freedom. And Chicago, for whatever reason, the city, it really suited him, and Harry's personality just exploded. Um, the broadcast became a lot more informal and funnier and spontaneous. Um, he was known uh in his early days in Chicago to take his shirt off, and he was known to take the mic down into the bleachers and broadcast down in the bleachers with the uh fans on occasion. You know, if maybe things weren't going very well for the White Sox, he would he would spin a yarn or two, tell some stories up there in the booth. And at some point in his uh, I don't remember the year, during his White Sox days, he settled in with former player Jimmy Pearsall as a tandem in the booth. And, you know, they joked around and argued and laughed, and increasingly the fans tuned in as much for Harry as they did for the game. And that's why I say he reminds me of Madden. Madden was the same way. I'd watch Madden games just to hear Madden talk, right? And a couple of key things happened during those White Sox years, which by the way, if I didn't say it before, those were from 1971 to 1981, were the White Sox years. A couple of key things happened there. First, Harry was in the booth for the famous disco demolition night. And I haven't covered that yet, but I am going to. It'll probably be next season. We talked about 10 cent beer night in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Well, and I said the only thing that probably was a bigger deal than 10 cent beer night was disco demolition night. And Harry was on the call for disco demolition night. So that was a big thing that gave him exposure, and that happened in July of 1979. It kind of erupted into total chaos as well. So that was one big thing that happened to him. And the second big thing that happened to him was the singing. During the seventh inning stretch, Harry started leading fans in his rendition of Take Me Out to the Ball Game. And it wasn't a big deal at first, like you might think it was. It was just Harry kind of being Harry, but the fans loved it, and the crowd joined in, and the tradition kind of grew and grew. And another little piece of his pers persona sort of shined through with that, and that was accessibility. Like I said, it made he made you think you were sitting there with him, and he was announcing right beside you there in the bleachers. What's funny is that Harry actually did mingle with fans and he did walk around the stadium and talk baseball with just ordinary people before and after games, and he just seemed approachable to folks and authentic. And, you know, I keep saying it, but just kind of like sitting there watching the game with a friend, you know, or a buddy or whoever. Just a good time listening to baseball. So all of that uh kind of innovative time in Harry's career happened with the White Sox from set uh 1971 to 1981, and then 20 minutes into the podcast, we get to the part where most of you, if you're my age, uh know Harry from. So in 1982, Harry went across town and joined, of course, the Chicago Cubs. And, you know, if the Cardinals built Harry Carey and the White Sox reinvented Harry Carey, well then the Cubs, they they made him immortal. I mean they just did. In 1982, everything changed. When when he when we first started this podcast, me and the founding fathers, we talked about the impact that cable vision, see I still call it cable vision, that cable had on our cultural experiences as Gen X kids. We got cable around, I don't know, 1980 or something. Um and, you know, WGN brought Harry Carey and the Cubs right into our North Louisiana neighborhood. Them as well as the Atlanta Braves, they were both on at least every home game, and I don't know, I'm sure they I don't know what the total game broadcast package was, but it was seemed to me like it was all home games and even some away games. I could be wrong, but you know, still 80 81 games a year at least. So the Cubs exposure around the country via WGN made the guy immortal. When he joined the Cubs in '82, a bunch of things happened simultaneously. First, Wrigley Field became his new backdrop for all of his action, okay? And he replaced Jack Brickhouse, by the way, with the Cubs. Secondly, Harry's personality fit perfectly with the Cub's culture. Think about the right field, the party out in the right field bleachers. If you go to Chicago and you want to actually watch the game, you can't do it from the right. Field bleachers. We tried. It's just it's just it's too much going on out there, believe me. And third, and most importantly, was the whole thing about WGN providing him access from coast to coast to the fans. So this is where the Gen X side of this really cranks up because every kid and every little nook and cranny in the country could see him on WGN. The Cubs were suddenly America's favorite daytime baseball team. Okay. Think about it. Kids in Louisiana and Arkansas watching watching the Cubs all over the country. And that's because the Cubs didn't have lights yet in the early 80s. Was it 88 or 9 when they got their lights? We did a whole bot, we did a podcast about the Cubs getting lights for the first time. And nobody listened to it. But go back and listen to that when there was a whole lot of politics and things going on when the Cubs got their lights in the late 80s. So all of us all over the country, we heard Harry Carey because of the Cubs and WGN. So he became, you know, the soundtrack of your summer if you were a Gen X kid and you cared about baseball. And think about the timing, all the things kind of coming together. School letting out in May, the Cubs playing, you know, tons of uh afternoon games. Well, all home games being afternoon games, uh, cable, uh Harry being the Harry Carrie that we know now being so gregarious and whatnot, and all the catchphrases like holy cow and it might be, it could be, it is, and you know, fans repeating them all over the stadium, and then the seventh inning stretch when he would sing, and that really exploded with the Cubs, a seventh inning stretch. And I can remember Harry just leaning out of the booth and waving the microphone way out of the booth, and the camera always being put on him and the crowd while they did that, and everybody just singing along as out of tune and badly as they wanted to and off key. But that's always the point, right? Uh it's you just gotta be enthusiastic about it. You don't have to be Pavarotti. And it became must-see television watching him do that, and celebrities, if they were in the house and in the booth, they joined him. Uh politicians, actors, singers, it didn't matter. And it really became one of the whole sport's most beloved little rituals, really. And, you know, he he actually did finally get to call some pretty good Cubs teams. We've talked about the 1984 Cubs on here, going to the National League um championship series. Uh the 1989 Cubs were another good team. He had those players to talk about every day like Ryan Sandberg, Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, uh Sean Dunstan, Greg Maddox, Sammy Sosa, the Sarge, Gary Matthews, Ron Say. I mean, there's so many guys. And Harry, of course, was the ringleader for all of that. And even when his age caught up with him a little bit, I don't think his popularity really faded. It probably got better. Um, it seemed like he got a little more love every year. And I do remember towards the end, him making a few more mistakes on the call. I would say to this day, probably his eyesight, if nothing else, might have caused some of that. But for all the accuracy he lost, he didn't lose any enthusiasm, and that's all I care about. And the fans loved him for that. And so, yeah, he just became part of the package. You had uh some superstar players, you had superstar visiting players, you had the occasional good team with the Cubs, but you always had Harry Carey. But you know, as with anything else, you can't nothing lasts forever. And in February of 87, Harry had a stroke and he missed the first couple of months of the season, and eventually time kind of took its toll on him like it does everybody. His skills eroded a little bit, and you could notice it, and you could tell he wasn't as accurate on the calls and timely as he had been on the mic and all that. You forgave him, of course, because of how enthusiastic he was. And towards the end of his career, he limited himself to just the home games, and he only traveled at some point he had it set up where he only traveled to St. Louis, his hometown, and Atlanta, and he traveled to Atlanta. You know where I'm going with this. He traveled to Atlanta because his son Skip was the play-by-play man for the Braves. And I can remember watching the Braves broadcast with my grandfather, and Harry would show up on there, and then Skip would show up on the WGN version. They'd share the booth for an inning or something, you know, just a way to commemorate them being on the field or in the box to uh for different teams. Um and at the very end of his career, I did not know this, but um WGN tried to create the first grandfather and grandson team in the booth. It would have been the first time ever because they hired Chip Carey, who was his grandson, uh, for the 1998 season. But Harry died in February of 1998, right before the season began. And so that never they got hired at the same time, but they didn't get to call the games at the same time. And so let's talk about his family a little bit. Um his legacy definitely extended beyond his own career. Skip Carey, as I told you, was a voice for the Atlanta Braves, and he was in that job from 1976 to 2007, and I heard my share and watched my share of Atlanta Braves games because our grandfather was a huge Atlanta Braves fan and watched them every day when they were on. Now, Skip, who was the Braves announcer, he died in 2008, by the way. He had a son named Chip Carrie, the one I just mentioned, and Chip um was the one who worked WGN, but unfortunately Harry died right before they could work WGN together. Um and millions of people listened to Skip on TBS, by the way, just like they had done Harry on WGN. So Chip now is the current play-by-play man for the St. Louis Cardinals, and that's come full circle for sure. And he's previously been with the Mariners, the Cubs, and the Atlanta Braves until 2022. I think Chip and Skip shared shared a booth for a while for the Braves, if I'm not mistaken. Also, Josh Carey, who is another Skip son, is a play-by-play in the minors for the Rocket City Trash Pandas. So that would be Harry's other grandkid um for in the minor leagues there, and then Chris Carey is the son of Chip Carey, and he broadcasts games for the Oakland A's. This would be Harry's great-grandson Chris, is has broadcast games, it's a broadcaster for the Oakland A's. So Harry, Skip, then Chip and Josh, and then the next generation would be Chris. So yeah. Several generations of carries at the mic for baseball. So how cool is that? In 1989, Harry received the Ford the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was the highest honor available to a broadcaster, well deserved, of course. And by then, of course, Harry had been doing his thing uh for decades. And he did remain with the Cubs until 1998 when he died. And of course, that was that was a tough one to hear about um losing Harry Carey um right before baseball season. That was tough. So, you know, that's that's something all of us remember is just how he kind of narrated our our young days running around in the summertime. That's I just associate him with not only baseball, but being out of school and the freedom of being a kid playing ball in the yard, right? And so yeah, uh just you know, he's just synonymous with me and my buddies um, you know, watching the Cubs, waiting on them to finish up before we could go outside and play with a ball and seeing him, seeing him on commercials and so forth. And I don't know, he's just a huge, huge part of uh my childhood and um baseball especially. And so, yeah, Harry Carey was the man and one of the most fun guys, one of the most memorable guys that you could ever possibly expect to listen narrate a baseball game uh for you because he's he just made himself part of that deal where announcers were sort of companions for you, they were part of the deal. I mean, you ever watched a ball game on silent? It it's tough, right? I'd rather listen to Harry Carey than watch it on silence. So he was definitely, definitely a big part of Gen X fandom uh for sports, and I don't know, I just can't say enough positive things about the guy. Uh I don't know if both of his uh he had two restaurants at one point in Chicago, one out on the Navy Pier that I've eaten at, and then the one downtown that I've eaten at. And I don't know if they're both still there or not, but if you're in Chicago, I know there's like a bronze um bust of Harry and the one out at the Navy Pier. And somewhere in my office here, I'm looking for it. I've got a shot glass from his um Harry from the restaurant in downtown Chicago. So I don't know. You know, Chicago still loves him, some Harry Carrey, and I'm sure uh St. Louis does as well. So I just wanted to talk about him because just been a lot going on that's that's really hitting the keys of nostalgia for me at least, and Harry's Harry's just a big part of that as uh you know, being a kid thinking about baseball. So I hope that was a pleasant little stroll down memory lane for you as well. Whether and the thing is you didn't even have to be a Cubs fan, per se, to love what Harry did. Like I said, I I've been I was a weird kid that didn't have a um an obsession with a baseball team. So I cheered for different teams for different reasons, and I'm fine with that. And but I definitely have enjoyed every trip I've ever made to Wrigley Field. I took my kids to Wrigley Field and they loved it. I went there as a young guy and loved it. Uh that whole neighborhood and all that that uh he helped build all of that stuff that you get to experience there at Wrigley Field, and it's fun. So um, yeah, so yeah, kick back this summer one day, maybe, and turn on a Cubs game and crack open a Budweiser or a or an old style for old Harry, okay? So, yeah, anyway, that's it. That's my take on um Harry Carey's wonderful career. I'm sure you have your own positive memories of him as well. And we'll be back in a week and we'll talk some more baseball because hey, it's a long season and a long summer in some ways, and we'll be back with more in a week. And I appreciate you listening very much. Tell somebody about us. We are closing in on 10,000 total views, streams, whatever, which has really been done in a fairly short period of time in some ways. So that's that's pretty good growth for a small, small podcast. So uh keep up the good work helping us out, and I'm Sean Enos, and I'll be back in a week.
