Arne Harris

Arne Harris

Arnold H. Harris (22 May 1934 in Chicago, Illinois - 6 October 2001 in Chicago, Illinois) was the producer/director of WGN-TV's Chicago Cubs television broadcasts from 1964 until his death.

Harris joined WGN in 1956 while attending Drake University. He risked bodily harm in 1960 to interview Don Cardwell after his no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals as fans stormed the field to get to the pitcher.

Harris was known for having cameras shoot into the crowd, so viewers could look for friends and family in attendance.

After his death, the Cubs placed a flag of honor on the roof of Wrigley Field.
