Cubs feud: Milo may toast Caray
Posted: Thursday February 21, 2008 06:34AM ET
Milo has mellowed ??? after all these years. Harry Caray will be the object of a worldwide toast Thursday night as millions observe the 10th anniversary of his passing. And for the first time, longtime antagonist Milo Hamilton just might offer a private toast to his former broadcast partner. Hamilton, 80, for decades resented the fan and media attention directed toward Caray, who was hired as the successor to Jack Brickhouse in 1982. At the conclusion of the '81 season, Brickhouse announced on WGN-TV that Hamilton would succeed him as the play-by-play voice of the Cubs. That was before Tribune Co. stepped in to buy the Cubs and hired Caray away from the White Sox. In his book released two years ago, Hamilton referred to Caray as "a miserable human being," and the two had a number of tiffs off the air when they worked together.
Finally willing to bury the hatchet ten years after Harry's death?
