-Let's get your prediction
on who will win the series. -Yankees in 6! -Wow. How about that? [ Cheers and applause ] That's great.
That's great. So that's your prediction,
huh -- Yankees in 6? -Or the Braves.
You never know, Norm. [ Laughter ] ♪♪ -Well, as I just said, the 1996 World Series
will begin tomorrow. Joining us tonight
on "Weekend Update" with his analysis of each team is a baseball legend
and a dear, dear friend of mine. Please welcome Hall of Fame
broadcaster Harry Caray. Hi, Harry.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Hi, Norm. Hi. Hi, everybody! Harry Caray here! I got to tell you folks -- it's gonna be
one heck of a series. These are
two fantastic ball clubs with outstanding pitching. You've got Andy Pettitte
and David Cone for the Yankees and, of course, the Braves have 24-game-winner John Smoltz
and Tommy Glavine. He's always tough, Norm. These teams
are so evenly matched. Let's start with the Yankees. They play in New York City. Wow! What a town! This -- This place is crazy!
[ Cheers and applause ] And you people are nuts! I once saw an Armenian woman
give birth to a baby in a subway -- beautiful, beautiful
8-pound, 3-ounce boy named Tanzu. He's -- He's now 11. We still keep in touch. -Oh, okay, okay, well, Harry, what can you tell us
about Atlanta? -Oh, Atlanta's a beautiful city. Many consider it
the jewel of the South. You know, it's in Georgia. [ Laughter ] -Yeah, that's true, Harry, but, hey, let's go back to
the Braves and Yankees, buddy. -Norm, actually, I'd like
to give a quick shout-out to Gail and Ron Anderson. They run Anderson Hardware
out in Waukegan, Illinois. They're actually here
on vacation. They wanted me to say hi to their beautiful daughter
Colleen, who's watching the store. Hey, Colleen!
-Okay. Harry, listen, buddy, let's talk about the lineups
for both teams, huh? -Hey, Norm, what about those hot dogs
they serve at Yankee Stadium? Aren't they delicious? -Yeah, sure, yeah. -I love 'em so much,
I once ordered 12. [ Laughter ] -12 hot dogs? -Yeah, I only ate two. I don't know
what I was thinking. [ Laughter ] To this day,
I still laugh at the idea that I thought
I could eat 12 hot dogs. You can't do it, Norm.
You can't. -No, no.
I, uh, I imagine not. Well, Harry,
I know you have to run, but, before you leave, hey, let's get your prediction
on who will win the Series. -Yankees in 6! -Wow. How about that? [ Cheers and applause ] That's great.
That's great. So that's your prediction,
huh -- Yankees in 6? -Or the Braves.
You never know, Norm. [ Laughter and applause ] That's what makes baseball
such a crazy game. -Okay.
Harry Caray, everybody. Harry Caray.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thanks for joining us, Harry.
-Thank you. -Yeah, nice to have you with us. -And now
with a look back at 1997 is our good friend, Hall of Fame
broadcaster Harry Caray. [ Cheers and applause ] -Hi, everybody.
Harry Caray here! Well, as you know,
1997 was quite a year. A lot of things happened --
some good, some bad. Mother Teresa died. That wasn't good... unless you hated Mother Teresa. I myself was not a fan of hers. Don't ask why. We were
just like oil and water -- we didn't mix. In the world of sports,
Mike Tyson bit a man's ear off. I don't know
what all the hoopla was about. I've actually bit a man's ear
off on several occasions. And I'm not proud of it, but it
helped me out of many a jam. [ Laughter ] In Scotland,
they cloned a sheep, which a lot of people thought
was fun. Hey, what if -- Hey! [ Laughter ] Hey! If I was a scientist,
you know what I would clone? Hot dogs! -Really? -Think of
all the possibilities, Norm! Imagine -- a world with... [ Laughter ] Hey, what's going on? [ Cheers and applause ] Imagine... Hold on! Imagine a world of -- of -- with
an endless supply of hot dogs! You could have a hot dog
any time you wanted! -Well, Harry, you can do that
pretty much now. -They'd be so abundant,
they'd become our currency -- 20 hot dogs would equal
roughly a nickel, depending on the strength
of the yen -- I'm not quite sure, but... You know what?
I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just keep praying that we
can clone one of these hot dogs. -[ Sighs ] Alright, Harry.
What else happened in '97? -Hey, Norm! Did you gain weight? -[ Laughs ] Actually, Harry, I'm Colin. -Hey! If you were a hot dog... and you were starving,
would you eat yourself? [ Laughter ] -What? -I know I would. First, I'd smother myself
with brown mustard and relish. I'd be so delicious. So, would you? -I don't know. -Don't jerk me around, Norm! It's a simple question! A baby could answer it. If you were a hot dog
and you were starving, would you eat yourself? [ Cheers and applause ] -I guess so. -Oh, you made a wise choice,
my friend. If you had said no, I would have bitten
your ear off. [ Laughter and applause ] I would have come at you
like a tornado made of arms and teeth and --
and fingernails. [ Laughter ] -So, anything else happen
in 1997? -No, I covered everything. -Harry Caray, everybody. -Cubs win! Cubs win!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Last week,
Major League Baseball was rocked by yet another steroid scandal, as Manny Ramirez was suspended
for 50 games for taking a banned substance. Here now to discuss the issue
of steroids in baseball, the ghost of Harry Carey. [ Cheers and applause ] -Hi! Hi, everybody! Hey! Hey, guys!
-Hey. -Hey, gang. Harry Carey here...
from the afterlife! And I gotta tell you folks --
being dead is fantastic! It's the best thing
that ever happened to me. It's like Heaven. [ Laughter ] -It -- It's like Heaven
or it is Heaven? -Let's not get caught up
in a semantics argument, Seth. [ Laughter ] The fact is, it's great. -Well, I'm -- that's good.
I'm glad to hear it. -Hey! You know what they use
for currency in Heaven? Angel bucks. You always have
100 angel bucks in you wallet. And even
after you pay for something, you still have 100 angel bucks. I don't even know
what the point is. I guess they -- they figured
that, even in Heaven, people like having wallets. [ Laughter ] -So, how do you feel about the whole Manny Ramirez
situation, Harry? -Hey, Seth, don't you think Manny Ramirez looks like
the monster from "Predator"? [ Laughter ] -Yeah, I-I guess his hair
sort of does make -- yeah. -I mean,
based on his size and strength, I-I bet the "Predator" monster would make
a pretty good ball player. -Okay. -I mean, the fear would be that he would kill
all the other players. I mean,
I guess you can ask him not to, but I think he'd probably
just tell you what you wanted to hear. [ Laughter ] Do you think
you could trust him, Seth? -What? -Hey, don't jerk me around,
Seth! It's a simple
yes-or-no question. If the "Predator" monster
promised he wouldn't kill
the other players, would you put him in the game? -No? -Good call, Seth. [ Laughter ] I mean, I think, eventually, his hunter instincts
would be too hard to resist. [ Laughter ]
-Okay. Do you feel like
the continuing steroid scandals are tarnishing baseball? -I've been talking
about this very question a lot with my roommate in Heaven,
baseball great Pete Rose. [ Laughter ] -Pete Rose isn't dead. -You're kidding.
-I am not. [ Laughter ] -That really burns me.
I just -- I just paid that guy
100 angel bucks for -- for some memorabilia. [ Laughter ] He duped me... although,
now that I think about it, there were some signs
that he might not have been who he said he was. -What signs? -Well, he -- he didn't seem
to know much about baseball, and he was Asian. [ Laughter ] Come to think of it, he might never have even told me
he was Pete Rose -- I just -- I just assumed it. [ Laughter ] Hey! [ Laughter ] -Do you have any-- Do you have
anything else to add? -Just this -- waterboarding is torture, Seth. -Whoo! -It's like the one thing that
everyone in Heaven agrees on. -Well, that came out of nowhere. -Not really. It popped into my head because I'm gonna waterboard
Asian Pete Rose when I get back to my room. [ Laughter and applause ] I mean, Heaven or no Heaven, I don't like getting duped,
Seth. -Harry Carey, everyone! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Cubs win! Cubs win! Thanks, Seth! ♪♪
