NEW YORK -- Harry Caray, this Buds for you.Anheuser-Busch is honoring the legendary sportscaster with a video that has him calling the nail-biting end of Game 7 in the early hours of Thursday, when the Chicago Cubs edged the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings.The ad shows the statue of Caray outside Wrigley Field and tense fans in bars, his deep voice intoning, Boy, if you have a weak heart, turn the set off. The rest of you, stay with us!Then it cuts to fans celebrating, and Carey saying Holy Cow! You talk about a mass of happy humanity. How about those Cubbies? Now our lives are complete!Caray died in 1998 having not seen his beloved Cubbies even make it to the World Series.The brewer also resuscitated a 1984 Budweiser ad in which the Bud pitchman, and Bud lover, caught a cold one launched into the Wrigley Field bleachers using a net.The company, working with marketers, moved quickly to create the video that would capitalize on one of the greatest feel-good sports moments in more than a century. The Cubs last won the World Series in 1908.During the 16 years that Caray called games at Wrigley, the Cubs made it to the post season but twice, never making it to the big game. He died several months before the start of the 1998 season, when the Cubs advanced to the National League Division Series, only to be swept by the Atlanta BravesThe Anheuser-Busch video with Caray calling the final out of this years World Series was conceived of only about 10 days ago and spliced together with audio from Carays days as a Cubs broadcaster, said Ricardo Marques, a vice president at Budweiser.With the blessing of the Harry Caray estate and Chicagos WGN network, a team from Budweiser and the agency VaynerMedia in New York culled through archives of yesteryears games between the Cubs and the Indians, and also games with big finishes, to set up the illusion.A separate crew worked throughout Wednesday night to capture video of fans in and around Wrigley Field as game seven unfolded. They could have used stock footage, Marques said, but everyone wanted something that looked very real.The final two-minute video was approved at 5:30 a.m. Thursday and went online around 7 a.m. Budweiser is currently working on an ad that runs shorter than the original two-minute version, slated to air on TV this weekend.Allen Adamson, head of the New York consulting firm Brand Simple, calls the campaign a smart way to bring in the history, brand equity and nostalgia together and be relevant in the moment.Anheuser-Busch, based in St. Louis, Missouri, has been the official beer sponsor of Major League Baseball for more than 30 years. The brewerys commercial ties to Caray stretch back to the 1980s, when he pitched the brew as a Cubs Fan Bud Man.He also announced games for the St. Louis Cardinals, which were once owned by Anheuser-Busch, for 25 years, until 1969. The brewer is now owned by Belgium-based beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev SA.Caray is still revered in Chicago, where a statue of the broadcaster outside of Wrigley Field features an outstretched hand which, coincidentally, holds a can of Budweiser quite snugly.---This story has been corrected to read that the Cubs were swept by the Atlanta Braves, not the Los Angeles Dodgers, in the 1998 National League Division Series.
