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.
