If I remember correctly, bleacher seats were six dollars and old style beer was two dollars!! ice cold!!
Harry was one in a million❤
Those were the days where the Cubs announcers were the best in the business. Two HOF Announcers plus arguably one of the greatest color men in history, Steve Stone.
This team was exciting, and so many hopes were raised. I actually shed a tear when they lost to San Diego, more for tge sake of my friends and family (my dad was a huge fan, and he lived long enough to see them finally win it all in 2016).
I absolutely loved listening to Harry Caray and Steve Stone, and even Milo Hamilton was fantastic. Harry's banter with producer Arnie Harris was always entertaining. He would always mention visitors to the ballpark.
Such a fun year. I had my fun year in 1983 with the White Sox, and the Cubs got theirs this year.
Thank you SO much for posting this. Great times.
Keep these retro gems coming along.
Such a treat always.
Regards.
It practically ran the country
Thank you and them. May you and yours, and they and theirs, stay well and prosper.
