Harry Caray's Restaurant Plate

Harry Caray's Restaurant Group began when the first Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse opened in Chicago's River North neighborhood in 1987. Located at 33 W. Kinzie St. it was once home to the notorious enforcer of the Al Capone gang, Frank Nitti. He lived in an apartment on the fourth floor with his wife Annette, who’s family owned the building. Harry Caray was a radio and television broadcaster, covering Major League Baseball teams beginning with a long tenure calling the games of the St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics, and the Chicago White Sox before ending his career as the announcer for the Chicago Cubs.

Harry Caray's Restaurant had been designated the Official Home Plate of the Chicago Cubs. The bar is 60 feet, 6 inches long, the exact distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate. The restaurant houses 1,500 pieces of baseball memorabilia, including a bat autographed by Sammy Sosa during the period in 1998 when he set a record with 20 home runs in a single month, as well as items from Stan Musial, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams and others.

The deep dinner plate measures 11.25" in diameter along the top rim, which has four Harry Caray's Restaurant logos, quarterly, separated by a continuous "Holy Cow!" design. The bottom has a "Medallion Sterling China, Wellsville, Ohio, U.S.A. ©" Makers mark and a "V1" date code. (January- March 1995)
