Former All-Star catcher and Hall of Fame broadcaster Tim McCarver dies at 81. STORY:
Tim McCarver, a stalwart catcher for 21 seasons in the major leagues before becoming a Hall of Fame broadcaster, has died at the age of 81.
McCarver played 12 seasons with the Cardinals, teaming up with ace Bob Gibson to form the heart and soul of two World Series championship squads in 1964 and 1967. A two-time All-Star in St. Louis, he set career highs with a .295 average, 14 home runs and 69 RBI in 1967, finishing second to teammate Orlando Cepeda in the NL MVP voting.
He made his first national television appearance in 1980 on NBC's Game of the Week, which led to a full-time job broadcasting Phillies games from 1980-82, followed by stints with the New York Mets from 1983-98, New York Yankees in 1999, San Francisco Giants in 2002 and the Cardinals from 2014-19. Joining Fox as its No. 1 baseball analyst in 1996, McCarver worked primarily with play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, covering a total of 23 World Series and 20 All-Star Games before stepping down after the 2013 season.
