How can u beat Harry Caray?,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Remember Harry Caray (Paperback)
I Remember Harry Caray is a good book and i highly suggest buying it if you are a die hard Cubs fan like myself. This book has some very good stories in it about Harry and the Cubbies. Harry Caray is in my mind what really kept me watching the Cubs through their terrible years and this book is the perfect tribute to a wonderful man.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: I Remember Harry Caray (Paperback)
I was surprised by many of the observations in this book, but far from sensationalistic, it is very honest in what made up Harry Carey. I appreciated the fact it was authorized, and I imagine there is more then enough information about Harry to warrent another volume. Here's hoping we get to see more of "the voice of the Cubs'!
