When did WGN start broadcasting Sox games? All I recall from my younger years was Cubs.

This.

Ironically, Skip Carey was calling the Braves games.

Skip Caray and Ernie Johnson doing the Braves games on WTBS was pure gold. Save the 82,83 and 84 teams the Braves were garbage in the 1980s. Folks basically tuned in for them.

Harry Carey alone made it worth it. Plus all the day games on after school times.

Harry,"Hey Steve, did you know Palmeiro spelled backwards is Oriemalp?". Steve, "No, I did not know that Harry".

"Steeeve, I see in the game notes that Mike Marshall is going back to L.A. to get some cocaine for his foot".
"Ahhh, that's novacaine, Harry".
