I simply cannot stand his announcing, but he was a better player than many realize, an All Star catcher several times with St. Louis.

A great defensive catcher, and I was blessed to watch him play late in his career when he was Steve Carlton's personal caddie with the Phillies.

Tim McCarver is the absolute worst baseball commentator I've ever heard. He's biased, he forgets names. I think he's drunk half the time. During the 2004 ALCS, he actually said that Brandon Arroyo would face the _Yankees_ Pedro Martinez in a coming game. First, it's Bronson Arroyo, second, Martinez plays for the Red Sox. Just one of his many inanitites. Booh!
