Baseball's Longest Running Organist - Gary Pressy
Рет қаралды 3,752,654
4 жыл бұрынGary Pressy has been behind the organ for 2,600+ consecutive Cubs games.
So much thanks to Gary and Wrigley Field for allowing us to come in and film with him.
Also, this is probably the most nervous I've ever been to play an instrument on this channel.

Watching the Pirates at Cubs game right now, and they just announced that you will be retiring following the 2019 season, after 33 years and never missing a day. I mean, WOW...33 years! What an amazing tenure Gary! I've been a devoted Chicago Cubs fan, since my first grade year, back in 1990. So since you began as the Cubs Organist in 1987, I've been listening to your wonderful numbers since I was 5 to 6 years old. Mind boggling! The numbers you mentioned for players, brings back a ton of memories from my childhood, but the one that really hit home, was when you mentioned when Harry Caray would say: "Alright Gary, LET ME HEAR YA!" My God...I remember that so, very vividly! 😁 I'm actually from South, Texas, near Corpus Christi. But I became a fan back in 1990, due the time of WGN being a Superstation during that time, just like when TBS used to be, and they would always broadcast the Cubs games during the season nationally(along with the Bulls). Living so far from Chicago, I have always dreamt to visit the Friendly Confines, and have even said: "to also hear those classic tunes from the organist." I don't think I'll get that previalge to do so. But, it has been an absolute pleasure to know that I've grown up listening to your craft, and you have been a part of my lifelong experience as a Chicago Cubs fan! I bid you adieu and Godspeed Mr. Gary Pressy. And once again...it has been an absolute pleasure listening to your work my whole life! -Steve (P.S. Really nice and pleasant interview. It was very informative.)

As a Southern California baseball fan and organist I love this! Fun fact: the “Charge!” tune was written in the 1940s by a USC junior in the marching band and originally played at USC football games. The Dodgers later used this after they moved to Los Angeles and it was in the 1959 World Series against the other Chicago team that this tune was heard on national tv and was picked up by other teams after that.

@@IIrandhandleII I've actually heard the organ player at Riverfront Stadium (old Cincinnati Reds stadium) play Riders on the Storm when a game I was at was postponed for rain delay. We were all soaked but hearing that song actually made it all worth it. I was just glad that not only the organ player thought to play that song but also knew how to play it. It was perfect!

Great vision Rob. I am from Australia and the Cubbies have been a favourite since 1984, I viisited Wrigley for a game way back in 1991 and will always remember Harry conducting the fans from his box directly above us. I guess it was Gary tickling the ivories as we sang along. All the best to him. A wonderful and unforgettable visit. Go the Cubbies.
