And/or people in the booth were waving their arms wildly.

With the short left field, the outfielder playing the carom off the wall perfectly, the runner would have been dead meat if he'd tried for second.

Stanton hit a rocket to bear the same spot and the 3rd base coach waved Judge around trying to score from first ….in Fenway. Meat.

And then he’d argue when Steve Stone, his color guy, gently tried to correct him.

Harry was legitimately a Hall of Famer, but it wasn’t because of his time with the Cubs.

His grandson Chip is the current Braves' announcer. His full name is Harry Christopher Caray III.

He wanted to do games with his grandson. Skip got hired, and Harry died in the off season. They never worked together, and Chip moved on fairly soon to another nepotism hire with the Braves.
