As of late Monday, signs heavily pointed to a familiar name joining the Cardinals broadcast team. And there aren't many names more famous than Harry Caray on the team's storied roster of announcers through the years.
In this case, it would be Harry "Chip" Caray III, grandson of legendary Cards and Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray and son of another prominent sportscaster, Harry "Skip" Caray Jr.
Sources said Monday that Chip Caray, who has called Atlanta Braves games for the past 18 years, is the leading candidate to succeed Dan McLaughlin as the play-by-play broadcaster on Bally Sports Midwest's Cards telecasts. Later in the day there were reports that he will be making the move, but BSM officials would not comment on the matter. Caray, 57, could not be reached by the Post-Dispatch, but it was believed the parties were working toward finalizing a deal.
