Harry Caray on Letterman, July 31, 1986

Loved that! World needs more of this these days! I remember when WGN would broadcast a good 90% of those games! Those were the days…..

Such an iconic voice. It is just as much a part of the history of baseball as the baseball itself.

Miss this man’s voice and commentary.

He took the place of Jack Brickhouse when he retired. I was the only Cubs fan on my block. Everyone else were for the White Sox.

You what would be
AWESOME COOL?
Harry and Rodney podcast 😂

Hey Steve (Stone) did you know that Mets spelled backwards is stem? - actual Harry line during a game.

My Grandma told me exactly why Harry got the Pink Slip

Harry did more for Falstaff than anyone.

I was today years old when I found out this guy was real and not just an SNL character. Are "The Lovers" based on real people?!?

SNL could have made a skit out of this interview using the dialogue verbatim, with [of course] Will Farrell playing Harry Carey, and Norm Macdonald as David Letterman.

"It's a simple question Dave, If the moon was made out of ribs would you eat it?"

Will Ferrell SNL brought me here.

🔔 HARRY HERE REMINDS ME OF JOHN PINETTE.

No impersonation can touch the authentic.

Now if we could just get rid of the hack imitators. Loved to watch Harry with Steve Stone. Baseball is so corporate and soulless now.

If the moon was made of ribs, would you eat it?

He looked like a drunk. And Larry Bud Melman

" what do you think I've been doing for the last half hour waiting to come on" 😂

You look at celebrities from that era of time and they're just salt of the earth people it seems like. A lot of celebrities these days are just narcissistic pricks.

First game back same seat next to his held steve stone, we did the stretch without him, but wanted to do it good, i remember - and that last one without him was the best and we all cried knowing its over. And we never needed a reward to tell us the joy we felt with eacother

Win or LOSE LOSE LOSE....Wrigley Field and the Cubs.......it's an adventure and a happening, every time. Ya can't beat the experience, visit sometime and you'll see.

WGN in Mobile, Al. I grew up a Cubs Fan and a Bud Man. Holy Cow!!!

Girls WILL make passes at guys with thick glasses. 🤓

I had to suffer through the era of Mike Shannon’s gurgling like he’s underwater voice calling Cards games LOLOL this makes me so sad Harry was fired by the Cards. Cubs fans at least finally scored a winner getting Caray 😉

As much as Letterman loved baseball I’m guessing this was one of his favorite ppl to interview

The organist really helped Harry Cary

This my first experience seein the real Harry Carey and not Will Ferrell's version. What a lovable guy!

RIP Harry

Well now I know where Jiminy Glick came from...

How did he end up With those glasses

TWO well liked men!

“If you could choose between being the best astronomer in your field and having mad cow’s disease, what would you chose?”

astronomer: I’d… uh.. i’d obviously chose to be the best in my field

“Ok, I was worried you’d say mad cow disease”

astronomer: “why wouold you be worried about that?”

Will Ferrell as Harry Caray: I guess I’m just a worrier

Hey!..What if….. hey!!

I love this video. Such a wholesome guy.

Dear Harry we will love you forever 💖 the Lord will keep you in his kingdom. 🙏🎚️🙏🎚️

Never missed a game, never missed an inning. Thats a good, old-fashion work ethic.

He doesn’t sound like Will Ferrell at all!

My grandma would take me to 1 cub game a year. She adored Harry. One trip he gave her a kiss through the security fence. She never stopped talking about that the rest of her life.

They Mets would win the world series later in the yeay. They haven't won one since amazzzzzzing

this man is a real class act in every sense of the word. they don't make guys like this man anymore! Go Harry !!!!!

"Hey!!! Look at that youngster with the Sombrero, let's a get a close-up of that kid, huh, Arnie?"

Go cubbies

"It's a simple question Dave. If the moon was made of ribs would you eat it?"

Harry seems like the most fun guy to hang out with

Chicago the greatest sports town thanks to the likes of Harry.

Hey! I know the moon isn't made of cheese but if it was made of ribs would you eat it ..... Hey!

Anyone ever seen this guy and Rodney Dangerfield together? 🤔

This character was better portrayed by Will Ferrell

Love his restaurant!

What a character, and he didn't have to try.
