Harry Carabina

It was 10 years ago yesterday that Harry Caray died. The long-time baseball broadcaster, principally for the Cubs and the Cardinals, was raised in an orphanage on the Hill in St. Louis, grew to become one of the most celebrated pitchmen of all-time and a favorite voice of the game for thousands upon thousands of fans, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989, and kept his phonre number published his entire life. Baseball's a duller game without him.

Here's a Youtube montage of Harry's work, and Harry at his best during the 7th inning stretch. It's been so long since they had a good performance of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley, you forget how thrilling it used to be.

They're talking about Drake University basketball in The New York Times today.

I'll bet that Castro disappears entirely. Like Carson.
