Harry Caray Quotations

It might be, it could be... it is! A home run!

It's the fans that need spring training. You gotta get 'em interested. Wake 'em up and let 'em know that their season is coming, the good times are gonna roll.

I've only been doing this fifty-four years. With a little experience, I might get better.

Now, you tell me, if I have a day off during the baseball season, where do you think I'll spend it? The ballpark. I still love it. Always have, always will.

I knew the profanity used up and down my street would not go over the air... So I trained myself to say 'Holy Cow' instead.

You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games.

When I die, I hope they don't cremate me 'cuz I'll burn forever.

I'll tell you what's helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It's something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more.

I know it is the fans that are responsible for me being here. I've always tried in each and every broadcast to serve the fans to the best of my ability.

My whole philosophy is to broadcast the way a fan would broadcast.

Hello again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball.

I would lose my people ? cab drivers, bartenders and others, ... who can't afford cable TV.

Now, he gives me a hug. I see his hands and arms with all these marks and tattoos. I'm thinking, 'I'm hugging the anti-Christ.' But then he said, 'Sharon and I thank you. We had a great time.' And he walked up to everyone in the TV booth, everyone on the crew and said, 'Thank you, I really had a great time.' I'd never seen anybody do that before.

I knew the profanity used up and down my street would not go over the air, ... So I trained myself to say 'Holy Cow' instead.

They (Expos fans) discovered 'boo' is pronounced the same in French as it is in English.

You could tell he (President Ronald Reagan) was an old radio guy. He never once looked at the television monitor.

Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?

Oh, I get a little tired now and then, but knowing my lifestyle, that's only natural.

It's the fans that need spring training. You gotta get them interested. Wake them up and let them know that their season is coming, the good times are gonna roll.

I would always sing it (Take Me Out To The Ballgame) because I think it's the only song I knew the words to.

Scott Bullett, as he takes left field, is getting congratulations from everybody. He and his daughter are parents of a new baby.

You know Alou's name spelled backwards is Uola? That sounds like a first name, Uola.

Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of something bad.

Not only do I like to go to bars because I like to drink, I do like to drink, but I go because who do you see there? Baseball fans.

I don't know what the big deal about Cracker Jack is. Did you ever go buy a pack of Cracker Jack, thinking you'd get a prize and find no prize in the box? (pause) Here's the pitch...

Aw, how could he Jorge Orta lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico.

Booze, broads and bullshit. If you got all that, what else do you need?

We all know the moon isn't made out of blue cheese...but if it was made out of bbq spare ribs would you eat it?

It could be, it might be... It is, A home run!

What does a mama bear on the pill have in common with the World Series? No cubs.

Hello again, everybody... It's a bee-yoo-tiful day for baseball.

Someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series

Chicago people are kind of fatalistic, but they continue to hope that somehow, some way the Cubs will shock even them and win it just one time. Their fatalism allows them to enjoy the team's success, knowing that one horrible thing will happen down the line to rip the rug out from underneath them.

He sang it four times, and he's the only guy who got progressively worse. The first time he was late, just finished playing golf, and he had to run up the ramps with his bad knees. He ran through it in about 15 seconds. He's gone operatic. Staccato. He's tried scat. Let's just say as a singer, he's a great football coach.

I figure I had no business being here this long anyway, so what do you care how old I am? I've been on borrowed time for years. You know my old saying: live it up, the meter's running. I've always said that if you don't have fun while you're here, then it's your fault. You only get to do this once.

This has been the remarkable thing about the fans in Chicago, they keep drawing an average of a million-three a year, and, when the season's over and they've won their usual seventy-one games, you feel that those fans deserve a medal.

You've got all these brilliant, talented people, and the first thing they say afterward is, 'God, am I glad that's over!' All of a sudden, 40,000 pairs of eyes turn and they're looking at you. All of them say it's the most incredible rush they've ever had professionally.
