Has anyone else caught the show/dvd commercial about Harry Caray that they have been showing on Comcast the last couple of nights? Wow... it brought back so many memories of Harry. Pat Hughes narrates it and it chronicles the career of Harry.... they have showed some of the special on Comcast, but the whole thing (an hour and a half) is available on DVD at www.helloagaineverybody.com for $19.99, but I got it on ebay (bought out outright at $11!). I watched the special for the second time last night, and realized it really should be in my Cubs DVD collection! I bought it online last night, so hopefully I will have it by the weekend.
Many celebrities and old Cub favorites are interviewed on there. Steve Stone, Ryne Sandberg, Pete Vonochan, Bob Costas, his wife Dutchie, Skip and Chip Caray, etc. Lots of old Cub clips.
It even brought tears to my eyes as they showed parts of Harry's televised funeral... and how Cub fans, in the middle of February, gathered at Wrigley when he died and sang Take Me out to the Ballgame in tribute to Harry.
Does anyone have this DVD yet? I can't wait to get it and watch the whole thing. I am really anxious to show it to my seven year old son. He has seen the statue at Wrigley (and rolls his eyes when I make him pose in front of the statue every time we go to Wrigley for a picture). I want him to be able to see just how special this man was to the Cubs and to so many people/fans.
On a side note...does anyone have the new collection of DVDs...The Cubs Legends of Great Games? It has about 8 DVD's in the collection. The collection features Ryan Sandberg's 5-for-6 (2HR, 7RBI) performance on June 23, 1984, Rick Sutcliffe's outing in game one of the 1984 NLCS, Andre Dawson's three HR game on Aug. 1, 1987, Mark Grace's 3-for-4 (4RBI) performance in game two of the 1989 NLCS, Kerry Wood's 20 strikeout game on May 6, 1998, Sammy Sosa's 61st and 62nd home runs on Sept. 13, 1998, Greg Maddux's 300th victory on Aug. 7, 2004 and Derrek Lee's 5-for-5 game on June 1, 2005.
The DVD also features Billy Williams speech to Wrigley Field fans, National Baseball Hall of Fame Speech highlights, Ernie Banks, rare Ernie Banks postgame interview after his 500th home run, Ernie Banks' 500th home run, Billy Williams and Ron Santo highlights, last two outs of Ken Holtzman's no-hitter, Dunston, Sandberg and Dawson in the 1990 All-Star Game, Aramis Ramirez hits three HR in a game twice in 2004, Cubs clinch 1984 NL East Division title, Cubs clinch 1989 NL East Division title and Cubs clinch NL Central Division title.
My question is it just a bunch of highlights, or does it actually show the complete games listed?
