Where Is Chip Caray Today?
Starting tomorrow, seasoned sports broadcaster Chip Caray is set to bring his wealth of experience to the airwaves of Sports Radio AM station- 590TheFans, where he will be covering the storied St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals are a highly respected American professional baseball team that is based in St. Louis and is a proud member of the National League Central division. Notably, the team has been playing their home games at Busch Stadium since 2006, a venue that has been a source of great pride and joy for Cardinals fans all over the world.
With Chip Caray at the helm, listeners can expect in-depth analysis, expert commentary, and an unparalleled level of insight into all things Cardinals-related.
Caray made a significant career move to join the Cardinals’ broadcast team after leaving his previous position as a TV play-by-play announcer for the Atlanta Braves. He held this role for an impressive 17 years, from 2005 to 2022, before embarking on his current endeavor.
Currently, Caray’s broadcasting duties involve covering St. Louis Cardinals baseball exclusively for Bally Sports Midwest. His vast knowledge and experience in the field have proven to be invaluable assets to the Cardinals’ broadcast team and have further solidified his position as a respected figure within the broadcasting industry.
Why Did Chip Caray Leave the Braves?
After serving as the voice of the Atlanta Braves for close to two decades, Caray recently made the personal decision to depart from the team. Fueled by a longing to return to his hometown of St. Louis, Caray felt compelled to embrace his familial legacy by following in the broadcasting footsteps of his grandfather, the iconic Harry Caray, who was famously associated with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Braves have since announced that Brandon Gaudin will be taking over as Caray’s successor in the booth. Upon his departure from Braves, Caray told,
“I’m grateful and excited to come home and call games for the team that made me fall in love with baseball as a kid in St. Louis County,” Caray said in a statement. “As a visiting broadcaster, I have always admired the passion, knowledge, and loyalty of Cardinals fans, both here in St. Louis and across the country.”
Harry Caray, famous later in life for his signature calls of Cubs games, actually began his career in St. Louis and worked nearly 25 years calling the Cardinals. Chip Caray’s father, legendary broadcaster Skip, forged his own Caray legacy when he moved to Atlanta and took up calling the Braves in the late 70s.
