Harry Christopher "Chip" Caray III is a television
broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves
of the National League, but is best known as an announcer for Chicago
Cubs games from 1998 to 2004. He is the son of Skip
Caray and the grandson of Harry
Caray.
Well before joining the Cubs, Chip "paid his dues", working
with local television stations in Panama City, Florida, and Greensboro,
North Carolina. He was the play-by-play broadcaster for the Orlando Magic
of the NBA from 1989 to 1996. He worked on baseball games for the Seattle
Mariners of the American League from 1993 to 1995. He was also the
studio anchor for the very first edition of Major League Baseball on Fox
Broadcasting Company in 1996.
In terms of broadcasting style, Chip resembles neither his father nor
his grandfather. Chip's style is chatty, focused, yet effusive. He has
been criticized for interjecting his game analysis while delivering
play-by-play, instead of letting his color analyst do the job.
In September 2004, after a difficult season embroiled in conflict with
several Cubs players and staff, Chip Caray announced that he would be
leaving the Chicago Cubs organization to announce Braves games with his
father Skip. In Chicago, he was replaced by Len Kasper.
