Reply With QuoteI will be purchasing this without a doubt.
Is it next year yet?
Businesswire.com reported yesterday that JLT Films Inc./Purple Cow Productions has began production on a documentary "Hello Again Everybody" , and is slated for release this Summer, 2006. The documentary will portray the life of the legendary radio/TV broadcaster Harry Caray, and his 53 years in baseball broadcasting.
Harry Caray was the ultimate baseball fan and one of the most colorful broadcasters of the game. He began his career on the radio -- broadcasting basketball and baseball. He spent his first 25 years as the voice of his hometown for the St. Louis Cardinals, followed by a one-year stint with the Oakland A's, then later 11 years with the White Sox and 16 years with the Chicago Cubs. Caray was well known not only for his accomplishments on the field but off the field as well. While he was the ultimate voice of the fans, he also held a special place in the hearts of Elvis Presley, Michael Jordan, and President Ronald Reagan, to name a few. He is responsible for making the seventh-inning stretch almost as exciting as the game by starting the nationwide trend, still occurring today, of singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."
Harry Caray suffered a stroke at age 72, causing him to miss his very first game. In 1989, at age 74, Caray was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and later died of cardiac arrest in 1998. Harry Caray was a "larger than life" character, and the wonderful memories of him still stay with us.
I will keep you posted on any updates on this DVD. Look for it to be released sometime during the summer.
BELIEVE
I will be purchasing this without a doubt.
Yes, that seems interesting. Please do tell us all about it when it comes out.
I'm assuming Milo Hamilton wont be part of this documentary. lol
Nah he'll be a footnote.
"I believe in the soul ... the small of a woman's back, the hanging curveball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter."
How is the movie progressing, I had some additional information on Haralambie Carabina's childhood I wanted to offer, but Purple Cow Productions email is not working.
Awsome idea. I can't wait til it comes out!
Impossible is Nothing.
I suppose they will stick to his baseball career. A documentary of Caray that balanced his baseball side versus his night life side might be very juicy.

Watching the Cubs on WGN just has not been the same since Harry Caray died.i still enjoy listening to him on baseball games on audio cassette. i also taped some Cubs games back in the 1990s when we got cable in our area in Detroit.

Jack Brickhouse was the greatest announcer Ive ever heard. Sorry.
"Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never."
Harry and WGN is the #1 reason I became a Cubs fan. He was bigger than the game and he really made watching the game fun despite even when the Cubs were losing a game. Singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" was a classic. Watching the Cubs play on WGN without Harry is not quite the same as it use to be and it probably never will.
Some of you might want to check out this website where you can get a DVD of "Hello Again Everybody" The Harry Caray Story. Hello Again Everybody
These are some funny clips of guys imitating Harry.
