Chicago Cubs: The Heroes of Wrigley Series presents Harry Caray

While Harry Caray began his broadcasting career that spanned 52 years, covering five Major League Baseball clubs, he is undoubtedly most synonymous with the Chicago Cubs.

From 1982 all the way up until his final season in 1997, the immensely beloved Caray could be heard calling every Cubs game on WGN.

Caray himself was a talented baseball player and a standout and was even offered an opportunity to play at the University of Alabama. In the midst of World War II, Caray declined to attend the college to help serve his country, enlisting in the Armed Forces.
