Harry Caray (Carabina)

Born Haralambie Carabina in St. Louis, Mo., Harry was an American sportscaster on both radio and television. His last gig was an announcer for the Chicago Cubs for many years. Harry popularized the broadcast chant,  "Holy Cow". Notwithstanding the fact that nobody would ever mistake him for Luciano Pavarotti, Harry would lead Cubs' fans in a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch.

Early in his career, Harry had decided that if he were to become an entertainer, he would be best remembered by a more melodic sounding handle. Henceforth, Harry Caray, became his moniker.

José Doroteo Arango Arámbula aka Pancho Villa, was a military leader of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. The 30-30 carbine was a Winchester model rifle used by the followers of Pancho Villa. Villa’s troops sang the song,

Slogans and songs are an important part of many war efforts and revolutionary movements. “Carabina .30 .30” had its place in history.
