Hey, Everybody!

The winter of 1997-1998 was a really bad one for me on the ole “famous person death list”. First we lost Chris Farley just a week before Christmas, and then Harry Caray at the onset of spring training.
Thanks for all the good times, and teaching me how to be a functional alcoholic. Now that we’ve made 100 years without winning the big one, hopefully we can pull it off now that we have Fukudome.
How ’bout one more for the road, big guy:
A One!… A Two!… A Three!…
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the CUB-BIES,
If they don’t win, it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.
Harry Christopher Carabina

I loved listening to him get progressively drunker throughout games.
