Day 204: Harry Caray

In Chicago, a city of two major league baseball teams, the name Harry Caray is well known. 

As one who is not a fan of the sport, my introduction to the man was seeing the name on a restaurant. 

For some reason, the sketch logo really stuck with me . . .

I had no idea how much so until I attended an event put on by the Harris Theater in partnership with the National Museum of Mexican Art.

It was a showcase of various Mexican performers - covering the broad sounds of the culture, both traditional and modern.

What does this have to do with the baseball radio legend?

THIS: Harry Caray in female form, ready to go in her baseball pinstripes

Spitting image. 100% identical.

Or in the words of my former co-workers:
Coworker 1: "They are 100% the same."
Coworker 2: "No, they are 80% the same."

Regardless of the exact percentage, even from behind the likeness is uncanny.

Second to the joy gained from making the visual connection, was witnessing her failed attempts at getting the perfect seat. One that was free from voluminous hair blocking her line of vision, that is.

Apparently, legendary glasses do not guarantee legendary sight.
