I'wasn't able to find any clips, but there were many memorable late 80s/early 90s Harry Carry/Steve Stone exchanges while calling Cubs games for WGN. Stone was (and is) a great play-by-play guy, and his attempts to keep the focus on the game during one of Caray's famous non-sequitirs (like how good the ribs he had last night for dinner were) during pivotal moments were classic.

From Wikipedia:

In 1987 the Cubs had Ryne Sandberg, Jim Sundberg, and Scott Sanderson on the roster. Caray often confused these names and it was not uncommon for him to refer to "Jim Sandberg", "Ryne Sanderson", or "Scott Sundberg."

Haray Caray was the best at saying things that made no sense, or were uncomfortable.

"Asos, that's Sosa backwards!"

"Now up, Raphael Palermo"

I was convinced the Cubs traded Palmeiro because Haray couldn't pronounce his name.

I sure miss that guy.

They traded him because he [censored] Sandberg's wife.
