I loved McCarver when he was a broadcaster with the Mets. I actually learned to look at things I never thought of before listening to him. He knows the game, that’s for sure. In the past 10 years he’s fallen in love with his own voice.
Those were Tim’s best years. I lived in CT when he broadcast for the Mets - as a Mets fan. You’re right - once he went national, he absolutely fell in love with the sound of his voice.
But he knows what he’s talking about! That tip about the infielder’s (2B or SS?) glove coming up from the short hop, not giving him enough time to tag the runner out - good stuff.
