Tim McCarver: A Tribute

Tim McCarver, an All-Star catcher, World Series champion, and famed television analyst died on February 16 at the age of 81.

Over the course of 60 years in baseball, McCarver won two World Series, called more World Series games for television than any on-air talent in history, and left an indelible mark on the game he loved. McCarver's death was announced by the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

McCarver spent three decades as baseball’s premier television analyst, the only MLB analyst to have worked for all four major broadcast networks. He also served as an analyst for 28 consecutive MLB postseasons, including 23 World Series and 20 All-Star Games. During his career, he became known for prescient insights into the game and was a role model for ex-players looking to fold into a broadcast telecast.

McCarver was also a Class of 2016 inductee into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. This tribute video is from that induction ceremony.
