Sweet 16: Len Kasper set to catch Harry Caray in Cubs longevity

It isn’t exactly a milestone, and it’s only about halfway to the record, but it’s still meaningful.

Whenever baseball returns, Len Kasper will tie Hall of Famer Harry Caray with 16 seasons as the Cubs’ TV voice. Jack Brickhouse has the most with 34.

I had two thoughts when I noticed that: It felt like Caray was around a lot longer, and it doesn’t feel that long at all for Kasper.

Maybe that says something about them. Caray was a party in the booth every day with dramatic calls and a personality that often overshadowed the team.
