Without that empathetic, prominent voice which provided so much delight over the air waves for so many years baseball would not have been the same. Harry Carey made me laugh, get excited, and confused at times watching games as a Cubs fan since the early 90's. His presence is missed, but his voice and commitment to the game will never perish. Things have been bleak during the many struggling seasons for the Cubs yet Harry always found a bright spot to liven up spirits. For that I am grateful, knowing his phrases and chants such as "Holy Cow" made listening to a baseball more memorable and entertaining than usual. My favorite line of his of course is without a doubt, "I'm a Bud man and Cubs fan."Few broadcasters can dictate Mr. Carey's voice or come close to his impeccable and animated style. His passion for baseball speaks volume in a time now where integrity and honor are in question. No matter how bad the performances or problems got on the diamond for the franchise Harry managed to find the positives and definitely examined the negatives with a critical eye for improvement. His career stemmed from starting off as the voice in St. Louis then finishing his career in Chicago to share his life and infectious personality to deliver some of the most entertaining commentary.
He used to say the offense is lacking and no matter how great the pitching holds up it's runs that wins games. I totally agree with him there. One thing for certain which should be keep in memory for Cub fans was that Harry gave all of his remarkable talents to the fans and players. That goes without saying how of an impression he left on all of us who got a chance to know him. He says it best with, "Cubs Win! Cubs Win!" They'll be shooting for the World Series one day and I know he will looking on with pride. God Bless Harry Carey for what he brought to the game and to the Chicago Cubs!
