Budweiser pays tribute to Harry Caray after Cubs World Series win (Video)

Budweiser brought back this old commercial of the late Cubs announcer Harry Caray.

The late Harry Caray had been one of the best baseball announcers in the game. He worked with the St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs, the last of which was his last stint. Caray never got to see the Cubs win it all, though, from 1981-97 in this role.

Well on Wednesday night, the Cubs won the 2016 World Series. They overcame a 108-year curse to beat the Cleveland Indians and become the champions. The Tribe had been up 3-1 going into Game 5, but the Cubs rallied back with two consecutive wins. This led to a pivotal Game 7 in Cleveland which went to extra innings. After two RBI hits from Ben Zobrist and Miguel Montero, it proved to be enough to win the World Series.

Following the victory, Budweiser re-aired a famous commercial of Caray, and had a logo of the Cubs being World Series champions to close it out. He also most notably said, “Cubs fans, this Bud’s for you”.

That’s a  great commercial and tribute from Budweiser to honor the late announcer.

It took over one century, but the Cubs are World Series champions. There had been a time where this had been seen as impossible, including after the 2003 NLCS. This saw Cubs fan Steve Bartman infamously interfere with a pop fly in foul territory and blow the series. However, that’s all a distant memory with Wednesday night’s historic victory.

Harry Caray was one of the greatest announcers of all-time, and would surely be happy to see the Cubs finally win a championship. The franchise went through its ups and downs, but achieved what he and many others had looked for out of them.
