Tim McCarver, who parlayed his lengthy Major League Baseball career into a similarly long stint in the broadcast booth, died Thursday of heart failure at the age of 81, Major League Baseball announced.
McCarver, a catcher, was one of only a few MLB players to appear in games over the span of four decades. His MLB career began in 1959 with St. Louis, with whom McCarver earned two World Series rings and his only two all-star team nods and finished second in the 1967 National League MVP voting. From there, he became something of a journeyman, with stints in Philadelphia , Montreal, St. Louis a second time and Boston.
McCarver was the 2012 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, presented by the Hall of Fame to broadcasters for “major contributions to baseball.” Apart from his national duties, he was a color commentator on local broadcasts for the Phillies, Mets, Yankees, Cardinals and Giants before stepping away from the broadcast booth after the 2019 season.
