Harry Caray and Steve Stone celebrate the 1984 Cubs
Posted by: Richie Rich in Cubs, Drunken Fans, Harry Caray, YouTube
Let’s step back in time about 23 years to September 24, 1984 - the date the Cubs clinched their first postseason appearance in 39 years …
Harry Caray and Steve Stone are doing some on-air celebrating after the Cubs beat the Pirates in Pittsburgh. A huge gathering of fans are going wild outside Wrigley Field back home.
In this clip, Harry tries one of Steve’s cigars and has to get the taste out of his mouth … with Budweiser.
Now that my friends, is great television. Smoking cigars and chugging beer in the wake of a Cubs playoff berth. Good times.
Can you drink beer on television? I think they would probably have let Harry get away with just about anything that night.
Rush Street had to be rockin that night in Chicago. Even though its Mayor was in Pittsburgh.

Holy Cow! I miss Harry Caray. He was good for baseball, and great for the Cubs.
