At 5:30 p.m., fans raised a glass to the iconic baseball announcer at all Harry Caray's Tavern restaurants.
Caray was elected the Mayor of Rush Street in his own lifetime – back when he was a broadcaster for the White Sox.
In honor of Caray, DePorter sought out endorsements. The list is quite a long one – among many other past and present elected officials, it includes Gov. JB Pritzker, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, retired Mayor Richard M. Daley, former U.S. Sen. and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Crowds were already at the Navy Pier Harry Caray's bright and early Wednesday morning. Forer Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster, Harry Caray impersonator Matt Wagner, and theall turned out as CBS 2's Jackie Kostek reported live – and everyone sang an early round of"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" just like Caray used to in the seventh-inning stretch.
But DePorter says for a man who rubbed shoulders with the brightest stars in the worlds of sports, entertainment, and politics, it was the fans who he loved the most. And they loved him right back.
