Harry Carey: Fun Whether Announcing Or Writing

The best thing about this book is that Harry Carey writes the same way he used to announce baseball games: he just talks to you, as if you were next to him. That makes this book a very fast read. There are no boring spots. It's no prize-winner with deep thoughts but it's an honest, almost simple book by a guy who loved what he did and was grateful to be doing it. I would like to have heard more details of the Cardinals and Cubs, the two teams he announced for many years.....but I'm not complaining. I enjoyed the book, and it made me really miss hearing Harry on the radio and TV. To me, he was one of best baseball announcers of all time, and probably the most entertaining.

Good at the beginning, I'll bet good at the end..

I've read the first pair of chapters, and this book is great so far. Harry Caray is the main reason why I'm majoring in broadcasting. He's one of my idols, and someone I aspire to be half as good as.

An extremely interesting read

I found this book to be a fascinating study on the life of one of baseball's immortals. I grew up listening to Harry on WGNTV and this book illustrates just what a great man Harry really was. I was fortunate enough to have him sign this book for me prior to a Cubs game at Wrigley. It is one of my most prized possessions. This book is definitely worth the cost.

This is a MUST-READ!

This is just a fantastic tale of an enthusiastic man who goes against all odds in fullfilling his dream of becoming a sportscaster.

Harry Caray is baseball

Holy Cow! is an excellent history of 50 years of Major League baseball. Harry relates his experiences as a broadcaster for the Cards, A's, White Sox, and Cubs. Anyone who loves baseball will enjoy this book. Fans of Caray will find it informative, witty, outrageous, and fun, just like Harry himself.
