Love hearing Jack Buck on the call. I donโt think I remember hearing this call before either. It was his last season broadcasting. ๐ There will never be another like him. #stlcards

That time in 2001, when Jack Buck honored Harry Caray AND trolled the Cubs fans at Wrigley Field all within 1 minute and 21 seconds.
Chip Caray, who was the Cubs TV broadcaster at the time, sure seemed to enjoy it!

This is a big deal.
