:-k Pet peeve of mine. Harry, to me, is the human embodiment of the "lovable loser" image most people have of the Cubs and their fans. His terrible, sloppy, drunken broadcasts with the Cubs just represent the idea of people who don't give a [expletive] about the games or the team and just want to go the ballpark and drink. It's even more laughable that he has a statue like he was some cornerstone of Cubs lore like he basically spent his career broadcasting for them when he was in the Cubs' booth for only 17 years and spent most of his career broadcasting for the Cubs' two biggest rivals. It strikes me as ridiculous that he's treated like this "lifetime Cub" when he was just a hired gun who spent his worst broadcasting years by far with the Cubs. Giving him a statue over someone like Brickhouse and especially before any other players is ridiculous. Couldn't agree less.
