Wasn't Harry Carey an announcer for the Cards before he took up the mike for the Cubbies?
Actually, I believe Harry had a stint on the South Side before he went in the booth for the Cubbies. So, he's clean

Harry was the first great voice of the Cards through the 1950s. Part of my thesis topic is radio/baseball/advertising and Congressional legislation. Harry was a great pitch-man for Budweiser...even after he left the Cardinals.
