Binding: HardcoverBrand: Wrigleyville Sports Dewey Decimal Number: 070.449796092 EAN: 9781402210686 Edition: 1 ISBN: 140221068X Label: Sourcebooks Media Fusion Manufacturer: Sourcebooks Media Fusion Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 128 Publication Date: October 09, 2007 Publisher: Sourcebooks Media Fusion Studio: Sourcebooks Media Fusion Editorial Review: Product Description: WGN announcer Pat Hughes presents Harry Caray: Voice of the Fans, an audio/photo tribute to Chicago and St Louis sports broadcaster Harry Caray, one of the most beloved figures in baseball. Caray's personality was as much a part of his charm as his broadcasting skill, and even ten years after his death, baseball fans across the country recall Caray fondly, both for his play-by play calls and his genuinely excited "Holy Cow!" exclamations during the games. Pat Hughes has compiled Caray's most famous calls and broadcasts onto a CD that accompanies the book. By combining Harry's voice with photos and stories of the Cards and Cubs, Harry Caray: Voice of the Fans will give readers not only a fond memory of Caray, but also a "where were you when...?" for many famous games, such as Ryne Sandberg's double game-tying home runs in 1984. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Harry Caray bookI have to say that this is awsome. Thanks Pat Hughes, Harry and any other contributers. Highly recommended to anyone, even if you are not that much of a ball fan. Rating: - Holy CowIt is a great book in that it tells a side of Harry Carey's life as a broadcaster that I never knew. I learned quite a few things about him, plus one of my friend's grandson is pictured in the book. (He is the one with the big glasses and the ivy on his head. He is a big Cub's fan!) My son-in-law loved the book, too! Great reading! Rating:  - Holy CowI learned a lot I didn't know but I thought the c.d. would have more of my favorite announcer and not just him being talked about. Rating: - Great for Cubs FansAbsolutely loved this book. The CD that comes with it is great too. Loved to hear the bits with Harry again. Rating: - Pat Hughes delivers againIf you too think that Cubs radio announcer Pat Hughes is one of the best in the business, you'll enjoy this book. I'm not a Cubs fan, but the person I bought it for is. We both agree that listening to Cubs games on the radio is a pleasure, mostly because of Pat. He tells tales about Harry Caray mostly from the broadcasting perspective. The person I got this book for is an avid reader, and finished it very quickly. It's an easy but fun read, or so I was told. The CD which comes with ... Read More |
