Rudy comes to Chicago, pays' homage to Harry Caray

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was in Chicago yesterday for a $1,000 a person fundraiser--the first of many here, according to this article.

While in Chicago, Giuliani paid a visit to Harry Caray's restaurant. Caray was a longtime Chicago White Sox, then Cubs, broadcaster. In the Chicago area, Caray's link, unfortunately to this White Sox fan, is to the Cubs.

(Yes, I know Caray was a St. Louis Cardinals announcer for a couple of decades. Also, for one year, Caray was the voice of the Oakland A's.)

It's ironic that Guiliani chose to pay homage to Harry yesterday. Guiliani is a lifelong New York Yankees fan, something former Chicago Cubs fan Hillary Clinton tried to lay claim to back in 1999. Few people, if any, fell for it.
