The patriarch of baseball's first family of broadcasting was raised an orphan in St. Louis.
Caray was born Harry Christopher Carabina. He rose above the tough streets to become a good semipro ballplayer, then an announcer.
 

A broadcaster since 1941, Caray became a household name through his Cubs' games for WGN-TV, carried nationally by many cable
systems. He was immediately recognizable for his thick, oversized glasses and raspy, sing-along rendition of Take Me Out to the Ball
Game over the public address system during the seventh-inning stretch.
 

Caray died anticipating his 54th season on the job, one that had extra appeal because he was to work with one of his 15 grandchildren.
Chip Caray, 33, was an offseason hire by Cubs' flagship WGN.
 

Harry's son, Skip Caray, has broadcast Atlanta Braves games since 1976. In May 1991, Harry, Skip and Chip became the first
three-generation baseball broadcast dynasty.
 

Harry was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1989.
 

"We're going to miss old Harry," Hall of Famer Stan Musial said. "He was always the life of the party, the life of baseball."
