To a younger generation, Melton was the venerable pre- and post-game analyst on the White Sox's regional sports network — WGN, then Comcast SportsNet Chicago, then NBC Sports Chicago. In between Melton, who died Thursday at age 79, had an unlikely foil in the broadcast booth: Harry Caray, arguably the most iconic sports broadcaster in Chicago's history."
