Holy Cow! Watch ‘The Story of Harry Caray’ on MLB Network Presents

If you enjoyed going back in time to relive the Kansas City Royals World Series championship in 1985 and to remember the Montreal Expos, chances are you’ll enjoy this next installment of MLB Network Presents just as much.

Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray will be featured in the one-hour documentary titled “Holy Cow! The Story of Harry Caray.” The program will premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET, and will be narrated by award-winning actor and die-hard Chicago Cubs fan William Petersen.

As they always kindly do, the good folks at MLB Network gave us an advanced look at the program, and we’ll just say it might be, it could be…. no, let’s be honest, it absolutely is a home run.

Best remembered as the fun-loving voice of the Chicago Cubs who led crowds with his rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during every seventh inning stretch, Caray had a career broadcasting in Major League Baseball that spanned 53 years, which also included stints with the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns, the Oakland A’s and Chicago White Sox. We’ll learn more about that career from those who were closest to him, including his grandson, Chip Caray, who has successfully followed in his footsteps, and Dutchie Caray, Harry’s widow.

(AP) The program also focuses on Harry Caray’s life away from the booth, which highlights his incredible and perhaps unlikely path into the broadcasting booth and ultimately baseball’s Hall of Fame.

From his humble beginnings as a poverty-stricken orphan, to his health struggles later in life, to his constant struggle to balance family life with his career, notoriety and a larger-than-life personality that was always in demand. No stone is left unturned.

We also learn firsthand how Caray earned the nickname “The Mayor of Rush Street” in Chicago and how his countless local and national endorsements came about. Former Cubs pitcher Rick Sutcliffe also discusses the “Harry Caray flu” that would impact all of those who spent a night on the town with Harry.

For the rest of us amateurs, that translates to a hangover.

Here’s more from MLB Network:

Famous for his “Holy Cow” expression, baseball broadcasters Joe Buck, Bob Costas, Pat Hughes, Tim McCarver, Steve Stone and Rick Sutcliffe describe Caray’s unique broadcast style that endeared him to generations of fans. Former Cubs President John McDonough and Chicago columnist Rick Kogan detail Caray’s special bond with Chicago, the city where Caray called White Sox games for 11 seasons and Cubs games for 16 seasons. Longtime comedians and Chicago natives Tom Dreesen and Jeff Garlin highlight Caray’s colorful personality, which was made memorable by his signature rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch of games.

This is a must-see for every generation of fans.

For those who grew up listening to Harry Caray, which range from my father, who listened to Harry and Jack Buck call Cardinals games on KMOX, to myself watching Harry on WGN in Chicago every summer afternoon, it’s a rare chance to relive some of his iconic moments.

For younger fans, it’s a chance to learn who Harry Caray truly was. Because let’s face it, while everyone has a Harry Caray impression, there was only one. And in this case, the original was by far the best.
