The Pothole?
Fans discuss which episode features George losing his car keys in a pothole, with some misremembering details about Kramer adopting a highway and a keychain getting stuck.

Kramer adopts a highway and repaints it so that it becomes one big lane.... George has a Harey Carey keychain (or something like that) that keeps saying 'Holy Cow!' (and I think it became stuck in a pothole that was fixed by city workers when he dropped it there)
No, it wasn't Haray Caray... the name of the guy escapes me now, though. Damn... I know this, too.
Phil Rizzuto
It was "The Scooter", Phil Rizzuto, a former Yankee shortstop (and American League MVP in 1950) and a longtime Yankee radio & tv play-by-play man. Don't know if he originated "Holy Cow", or Harry Caray did, but Rizzuto was known to say it a lot, and in the days before cable, when all markets were regional, nobody really cared if both Harry and Phil said it. Rizzuto was known to ramble on about anything (or nothing) behind the microphone, like yakking about some ballplayer at some dinner for some children's hospital somewhere in Jersey, or some St. Anthony's carnival in some town upstate. He had an endearing way, even if he has lost his concentration in recent years on the game (mistaking routine flies for home runs and balls for strikes). He also was known for his longtime feud with former Red Sox shortstop and White Sox manager Eddie Stanky. But I distinctly remember Rizzuto yelling out "Holy Cow" when Reggie hit one of his 3 bombs in game 6 of the '77 world series against the Dodgers.

Not Harry Caray but the Scooter, Phil Rizzuto (did I spell that right?), long time voice of the Yankees and a Hall of Fame player.
Not to mention the play-by-play voice on Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
