The Longest Happy Hour in National League History
“Mets Raise The Price Of Beer In Chicago”
The New York Times 
“0 for the season Cubs. This is getting a little bit expensive. We will explain why. Harry Caray, the legendary Cubs announcer, told skipper Jim Riggleman yesterday, ‘you are going to put me out of business,’ that’s because Harry’s restaurant has been pouring 45 cent beers for 6 days until the Cubs win a game. 45 cent beers to commemorate the Cubs last pennant back in ‘45. Buses are coming in from out of state. This is the truth. The place is packed and nobody there is rooting for the Cubs. The Cubs entered with a modern league record of 11 straight season opening losses.” The Cubs set the National League record by going 0-14 to start the 1997 season. Harry’s sold 50,000 45 cent Budweisers during that time.
