Anyone who has ever seen the late great Harry Caray sing the seventh inning stretch during a Cubs baseball game knows just how distinctive and resonant his performances were. The old man may or may not have been soused on pre-game Old Style's, but he came strong no matter what.Since his death, various celebrities and notables have stood in for him to deliver the stretch. Recently, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis contributed to the legacy. Sadly, it was more like a lullaby than Caray's impassioned and rousing stretches. Hopefully the video will hit YouTube but for now, see this link and watch the video.
Where was his football coach voice? This was more like he was singing to his daughter than to the assembled 40,000 at Wrigley. At least the offensive mentality shines through. After completing the ballad, Weis shouts "let's score some runs!"
Indeed.

oh......to have Harry back again. Not only did you get to hear Harry sing, you also go to listen to him pronounce players names backwards, and call the game with players who weren't even in the game that day......but it was wonderful.

His singing may be bad, but he can still coach and recruit. Irish are going to be scary good after this season and for a long time to come.
