Harry Caray dominated the airwaves, commanded our attention, sparked interest, and generated controversy. Holy Cow St. Louis! celebrates the early days of radio, chronicles Harry's career, and documents his successes and failures in the city he called home for nearly six decades.

"Harry Caray could make a foul ball sound exciting." Don Fischer, Indiana University broadcaster.HOLY COW ST. LOUIS!

The FIRST Harry Caray biography with a focus on his St. Louis years. The FIRST book to report on the marriage and divorce of Harry's parents. The FIRST with pictures of a young Harry with his parents. The FIRST to describe Caray's OTHER serious accident, one that reportedly fractured his skull.

RADIO'S BEST DAYS,

Relive and remember Harry's predecessors, including France Laux and Dizzy Dean.\ Recall the year 1946, a World Series-winning year for St. Louis and the only season fans could hear both Harry and Dizzy calling Cardinals baseball. Revisit Sam Breadon's fateful decision to broadcast the entire 1947 schedule over one network. Did the Cardinals owner select Harry or reject Dizzy? Return to a Golden Age of baseball broadcasting when a bevy of Hall of Fame announcers described games in St. Louis.

HARRY CARAY'S BEST YEARS

Revel in the memories and recollections of journalists and fans who grew up listening to Harry. Recall Harry's "greatest thrill" in sports, a memory he never shared in his autobiography. Revisit the day Harry found out he was no longer employed by the Cardinals. Why 1972 - and not 1969 - is the year that ruptured Harry's relationship with the city.

AND MUCH MORE! "Mike Mitchell has written the definitive Harry Caray biography." Mark Tomasik, RetroSimba.com
