Base Hit, Two Runs Score!

baseball

At some point about 15 years ago, we started getting Chicago's WGN as part of our cable package.  WGN would broadcast Chicago Cubs games called by Harry Caray and Harry Caray made things fun.

I remember one game the Cubs batter came to the plate with runners at 2nd and 3rd.  He hit a sweet single that died in the luscious Wrigley Field grass and two runs scored.  What I remember about this play was Harry Caray's call "Base hit... two runs score!" and as God is my witness he had this sentence out of his mouth before the ball hit the ground.

Harry was great.  I can't believe he's been gone ten years.
