[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 354285, member: 13221"] Fans of American Baseball lost one of the great analysts this week. Tim played in the big leagues for 21 seasons as a catcher, retiring in 1980. He was part of two World Championship teams with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964 and ‘67. He played in a third World Series with St. Louis in 1968, but losing in that one to the Detroit Tigers. Overall he batted .311 in the three series. But what he is most known for are his talents in the broadcast booth. Like so many athletes over the years, Tim became an analyst. No one, including him, could’ve realized what an amazing journey this decision would take him on. Tim was an instant sensation in the broadcast booth, and it couldn’t have been easy for him, as he had to work with some of the all time great play by play men in the business. He had to work with legends such as Jack Buck, Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Sean McDonough and Joe Buck just to name a few. But Tim more than held his own, and he became arguably the most famous baseball analyst in history. What I remember him most for was his time working for the New York Mets back in the 1980s. He and Ralph Kiner were absolute magic together on the broadcasts, but what Tim will be most remembered for is being the voice of every World Series from 1990 to 2013. If you were a baseball fan, and October was getting close, you were looking forward not just to the World Series, but to Tim McCarver being on the live broadcasts. Sadly, the World Series has never been the same without him since he chose to retire in 2014. American sports lost a legend this week, and his voice will be sorely missed. And thank you Tim for being one of the many voices of my childhood, and perhaps its soundtrack as well. R.I.P. Mr. McCarver [/QUOTE]
