Could there be another Caray carrying on the family tradition on Cardinals broadcasts?
Sources said Monday that Chip Caray, grandson of legendary Cards announcer Harry Caray, is a prime candidate to replace Dan McLaughlin as the play-by-play broadcaster on Bally Sports Midwest's Cards telecasts.
Sources also said another strong contender, Seattle Mariners broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith, has withdrawn his name for consideration. Goldsmith, who went to high school at Priory, in St. Louis County, and college at Principia, in Elsah, Ill., declined comment.
Goldsmith and Caray are believed to have interviewed for the position.
The person hired will work for Bally Sports Midwest, and officials there are not commenting on the search to replace McLaughlin, who left by "mutual decision" last month following his third drunken-driving arrest in a little more than a dozen years.
