Tim McCarver(1941-2023)
- Actor
A durable catcher in the Major Leagues, McCarver was one of the few
players to play in four different decades (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s). Not
known for his bat, McCarver was a smart, defensive catcher, who knew
how to position his fielders and take care of his pitchers. McCarver
caught for two of the game's greatest pitchers, Bob Gibson and Steve
Carlton. McCarver, an eloquent player with reporters, later became a
baseball television announcer, where he does color commentary for ESPN
and ABC TV.
