It is hard to imagine what the Chicago Cubs franchise and fanbase would be like today if Harry Caray hadn’t been the team’s broadcaster for 16 seasons from 1982-98.
That’s not an exaggeration. There might not be any single individual who had as much influence on making the Cubs as popular as they are now than Caray.
Don Zminda’s new biography of Harry, “The Legendary Harry Caray,” not only lays out exactly how important Harry was to the Cubs on WGN, but chronicles the life of a man who really did pull himself up from nothing.
