Harry Carry was this disgusting old broadcaster who refused to retire even though he was well passed his age of competency even with a easy gig of calling a slow and boring baseball game. The legacy of these long-term baseball announcers pretty much can be made that they refuse to give up such an easy gig and just the other day a baseball radio announcer who had been working to the age of 85 suddenly quit making many people wonder why this sport has had a history of old trolls. many of these forever career baseball announcers established a buddy system with club
owners and who were able to hold on to their job way too long. The Los Angeles Dodgers old announcer Vin Scully work some 60 years of job security talking about baseball. Chicago and St Louis had a old geezer named Harry Carey who just refused to quit broadcasting and he started in the late 40's and kept working until he dropped dead in the winter of 1997. Make no mistake if Harry Caray was still alive he'd still be calling the Chicago Cubs games despite being like 106 or whatever. During a Cub summer game against the Dodgers back in 19 87 Harry Carey had the pleasure of having star second baseman Ryan Sandberg's young wife Cindy appear in the broadcast booth. Harry Carey's voice utterly got excited as he was talking to Cindy about some charity golf bullshit event as (most charities are fake and a grift) and Cindy spoke to Harry Carey and a stunned Steve Stone in the booth for several minutes.
The camera cut out for a few seconds and you actually see Cindy Sandberg get fondled and was riding Harry Carey's lap as she talked which was utterly reprehensible and the Pervert Harry carry often made women uncomfortable and feel like a piece of meat. Harry often made women sit on his lap to be seen on the camera when they made appearances in the broadcast booth pushing some project or event, The number of players wives that had a sit on this disgusting 80 or 90 something year old man Cubs broadcaster in the '80s and 90s is legendary and many players were indeed embarrassed and disgusting by this fact that the perverse Harry Carey demanded in order to get an interview a lap rub for their wives. Brian Sandberg was so disgusted that he confronted Harry Carey to his face and threatened to punch him in his old nose if he ever did something like that again to his wife and this disgusting incidents can be seen on YouTube in the 1987 Cubs Dodgers game.
Harry stayed so funking long forgot names and his cognitive decline was dramatic and on par with the shit we are seeing right now with Bozo Biden. Harry's stubbornness and arrogance fighting for those calling for his retirement and this silly goose bastard would continue to broadcast until the 1997 season. Harry Caray as usual got drunk during a off-season Christmas party that year and he fell on his fucking head dying a couple days later from a brain hemmorging and eventually this was the only way that the Chicago Cubs organization could be very Harry Carey free and done with this idiot. The Chicago Cubs have been Harry Carey free since then and listening and watching a Cubs game since 1998 has been so refreshing and better and sometime I like to go in the time machine on YouTube and watch long forgotten games and to hear the shit and voice much like John Madden's and Pat Summerall that I thought would never go away.
