A childhood belief about tv

When I was younger, I asked my grandfather where did Harry Caray go during Cubs games.

You see, when Harry did Cubs games, he would split broadcasting duties for TV and Radio, both on WGN stations. He'd leave TV after the 3rd, work 4th-6th on radio, and come back to TV for the 7th, and finish the game out.

My grandfather told me he went across the street to a bar and had some beers with his friends. I used to think this was the coolest job in the world, go to a game, hang out with friends in the middle, then come back for the exciting part in the end.

I was very disappointed when I came up with the real reason. I think I still am.
