In 1998, Chip Caray was hired to work alongside his grandfather as an announcer for the Chicago Cubs. Harry died in February 1998, and Chip stayed with the team and took his grandfather's place as "the voice of the Cubs". He would go on to serve as their announcer for several years, with [[Steve Stone (baseball player)|Steve Stone]] providing the color commentary for most of those years. In 2004, after a difficult season for the Cubs, Chip criticized Cubs manager [[Dusty Baker]]{{Fact|date=June 2007}}. Both the Cubs and Caray thought it was best to part ways, and Caray and Stone both left Chicago after the season. |

:Not at all. I think it just needs a look over for oddities, rather than copyediting, which would have been the main roadblock. '''[[User:Blnguyen|<font color="GoldenRod">Blnguyen</font>]]''' (''[[User talk:Blnguyen|<font color="#FA8605">bananabucket</font>]]'') 06:37, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |

On the final day of the 2004 season, Caray announced that he had signed a long term contract with both TBS and Clear Channel to work alongside his father [[Skip Caray|Skip]], broadcasting games for the [[Atlanta Braves]], stay closer to his family, who live in [[Orlando, Florida]].

In 2007, there was a major shake-up of the Braves broadcasters: [[Don Sutton]] departed to be the full time broadcaster with the [[Washington Nationals]], [[Skip Caray]] and [[Pete Van Wieren]] went to the Braves Radio Network, and [[Joe Simpson (baseball)|Joe Simpson]] signed with [[Fox Broadcasting Company]] to be a color analyst on FSN South and Sports South, and also signed to call a limited schedule of games on TBS with Chip. It was announced that Chip would be a broadcaster for [[TBS (TV network)|TBS]] and would also be the main play-by-play broadcaster for TBS during its coverage of the Major League Baseball playoffs. TBS will cover all Division Series games and the [[National League Championship Series]]. [[Baseball Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] player [[Tony Gwynn]] called the playoff games with Chip. |

Can I ask you to recheck the comprehension of the above FAC (which you previously left comments on) which two other editors have since reviewed and copyedited further which has led to further simplification of the plot and gameplay sections (the two giving the most problems). --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] 21:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC) |

Chip resembles both his father and his grandfather. Chip's style is chatty, focused, yet effusive. He has been criticized by some and praised by others for interjecting his game analysis while delivering play-by-play, breaking the mold of one man strictly doing play-by-play and another offering color commentary, a style developed by his [[Atlanta Braves]] [[mentors]]. |

Well it seems I return from my break to find not one (Rlevse) but two extra pair of hands to help with bureaucrat task. How pleasing, maybe I will finally be able to do some editing again!

:Sadly, RL has exploded all over me today and my editing time will be restricted for perhaps 24 hours. I'll keep away from anything I might make disastrous errors over until I can give it my full attention, so I might not pop up at CHU (my first intended area of helping) till then. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller#top|talk]]) 11:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |
