Born Harry Christopher Carabina, he grew up at 1909 LaSalle Street in St.
Louis and attended Dewey School and Webster Groves High School. He played on two local
semi-pro baseball teams before starting his radio career. After announcing both Cardinals
and Browns away games in 1945, the effusive Caray, renowned for yelling "Holy
Cow" after big plays, broadcast for the Cardinals from 1947 to 1969. One of
baseballs best-loved announcers, Caray then called Oakland As and Chicago
White Sox games before capping his career with the Chicago Cubs. In 1989 Harry Caray was
inducted into the broadcasters wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
