Goodbye Harry...
Someone said that Tommy Lasorda was a great ambassador for baseball, however; 
I have to say that Caray was the REAL ambassador. When he jumped to the Cubs 
and became a favorite on WGN, he MADE the Cubs a national team. His rendition 
of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the 7th Inning Stretch was a 
tradition that created a bond among the fans and was something that everyone 
looked forward to during their first visit to Wrigley (Mmy niece, who is 
mentally retarded, indirectly loves Harry because I sing "Take Me Out To The
Ballgame" to her like he did and she gets a big smile on her face when I sing 
the song). It'll be hard to hear that song and not think of Harry. He will be 
missed because of all the things that he did positively for baseball.
Goodbye Yarac Yrrah, we'll miss you....
