Best Reactions to Harry Caray Hologram Singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame'
Fox used a hologram of legendary Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during MLB's Field of Dreams game Thursday night. Let's just say it got a little weird.
Reaction to the hologram was pretty swift and most of it was not positive. Here's what people were saying about Caray coming back in hologram form.

Begging Fox to use fake Harry Caray for Big Ten football. Have him do Jump Around. Get some mileage out of it. The SEC would never. pic.twitter.com/ptQI2uYy5O

You could tell how confident Fox was in their execution of the Harry hologram by how they showed it for like 3 seconds up close, and at a massive distance for the other 57 seconds.

Creepy. Please don’t make a hologram out of me when I’m dead.

If anyone makes a hologram of me I will haunt that hologram and chase people around. I will figure out how to pick up stuff and throw it at the people who did this. I promise it’s not worth it

Yeah, I'm not sure if this was the best idea. I wouldn't go so far as to call it offensive, but it didn't really hit the mark. As I said elsewhere, it looked like something out of MLB The Show shoved into a broadcast.
