I've been a Cubs fan since before I can remember. I got it from my father, who used to always watch the Cubs lose on WGN when I was a kid. I guess it all started when we got cable television (a day I can actually remember) because the Cubs, playing all of their day games, were always on TV.

"The Good Lord wants the Cubs to win!"

"Way back... It may be out of here... IT IS! Holy COW!"

These were the days of Don Zimmer, Andre "You're My Hero" Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Rick Sutcliffe, Greg Maddux, etc. Great players, of course, but the Cubs could just never put it together into a winning season.

What solidified my love for the Cubs was Harry Caray. The voice of the Cubs on WGN, Harry Caray was an epic voice in my young mind. Listening to him sing the Seventh Inning Stretch and how he was always so upbeat about the "next game" when the Cubs were sure to find victory. I remember the moment, Valentine's Day 1998, when I heard that Harry was on his way out. That summer, I got to visit Wrigley Field on a mission trip and got to see how his parking spot was still covered with memento's and flowers. Harry was the Cubs for me growing up and it was bitter-sweet to be at Wrigley and not get to hear his voice in the seventh-inning stretch.

Take a listen to some of Harry's greatest calls...

"The pitch! HE STRUCK HIM OUT! HOLY COW! The Cubs win!"

"There's a long drive... Way back into left field... near the wall! The Cubs win! The Cubs win! The Cubs win! Holy Cow. The Cubs Win!!"

"Harry Caray. Speaking from Wrigley Field. God-willing, hope to see to you next year. Next year maybe, will be, the year we've all been waiting for forever. So long everybody!"
