Al Michaels is a true legend. No one covers sports better than him.

Tim took me from loving baseball to LOVING baseball. The intricacies, the intrigue and strategy of the game that he introduced in his commentary were eye-opening and have remained with me through the years. Also, his kind soul and respectful nature was a treasure to behold. I am saddened by his passing and will relish my experience of him.

Excellent interview with Al about the legendary Tim McCarver!!!

As a Mets fan growing up in the 80’s watching WWOR TV this is how I learn baseball he was the best announcer as far as describing baseball Rest In Paradise Tim

I hope Al lives forever

And he had a great voice for baseball. A twang with a big vocabulary. I played serious youth ball and loved his sophisticated analyses. He set the bar for a long time, especially in the pre-analytics age.

I loved Tim McCarver. So knowledgeable and enjoyable to watch baseball when he was on the show.

I grew up listening to Tim McCarver call Mets games and I absolutely loved his broadcasts. Listening to Al Michaels describe Tim's modus operandi for calling games makes me want to go back and binge a lot of those games from the 80s and 90s. What a career. Rest easy, Tim.

RIP Tim... I never saw you play, but you were great as a broadcaster. .o0

Much respect and honor for Tim McCarver. May you Rest in Peace sir!

That was a good comparison to Tony Kubek. Both of those fellows knew the game inside out.

My Cardinals batting helmet had that "15 McCarver" on it, Gibson to McCarver my all time battery.

Tim was exceptional.

That’s amazing

Michaels, Palmer, and McCarver were the best three man baseball booth ever. Their voices are voices from my childhood.

I can still hear Tim agreeing with Al with his patented, "Uh, ha" then adding his own analysis. He was one of the best, for sure. Thanks fro bringing Al on and talking about his experiences.

Tim was a treasure for sure

Michaels, Palmer and McCarver were great, and what a relief it must have been for Al to be told that Tim was going to replace Howard Cosell. Cosell hated baseball and thought it was too dull, as he wrote in one of his books.

McCarver was what knowledgeable baseball fans want in a color commentator- someone who could point out things they might not know or not have noticed. RIP

Just heartbroken. He seem like such a lovely man. Condolences to his family and anybody who loved him💔RIP🙏

Al.....we love U!!!!!😚

As good as McCarver was in the booth, he caught Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton. That sums it up for me.

A pretty good combo to was McCarver and Gibson.

Tim caught Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton

McCarver unlike the rest of these sports schlubs was about the game of baseball and not about himself talking about a sport such as baseball. RIP

Love Al Michaels, grew up with Howard, and my parents hated him, and over time I began to hate him. Tim was a blessing. Fun Fact: Rush Limbaugh and Al Michaels were best friends.

I remember listening to Cards games on radio when I was a kid. Being from the suburbs of Memphis, McCarver was our hero. One off season Blasingame, Hicks and McCarver were signing baseballs at a downtown department store and mom took me and my brother down to get a ball signed. Still got it after 50 or so years. Loved him on Fox sports towards the end of his broadcast time. I can't remember the year he did world series with Vince Scully. A fine pair. We made several family trips to St. Louis to see the Cards. Twice in old Sportsman park. One double header Daddy was tired and we left a tied game early. McCarver hit a grandslam to win it in the 9th. We heard the crowd but didn't know what happened til we got to the car and turned radio on.

I don’t think there has ever been enough said about how amazing of a broadcaster Tim McCarver was & sure enough, Al said it at 5:00 mark..he really was the Madden of baseball. He was much more than the basic former player-turned-analyst, but a skilled teacher of his game. No matter if it was a Mets or Phillies game for a local audience or the World Series for a global one, Tim was the exact same & never mailed it in. He deserved more respect & appreciation than he was given.

Mcarver signed an autograph for me when I was a kid when he was Phillies catcher and took a minute to chat. Never forgot it 40 yrs later

Al is the best! Should be in the MLB HOF!

Wow, I wasn't aware that Tim McCarver passed away. This is so sad. I have so many beautiful memories of him calling games for the New York Mets. RIP.

Loved Mcarver caught Gibson an Carlton

When--out of the blue--you see a title like this,you wince,knowing another person that was familiar to a lot of people--has left us.Sorry to hear,not only for Tim,but the many greats or near greats who have departed lately.

Loved Tim Mc Carver

Tim McCarver was sooo gooood, i even tolerated Joe Suck in between Tim's pearls.

McCarver was very good.

Does Anyone Know if Deion Sanders has Sent a Bucket of Ice Water to the McCarver Family to be used at Tim’s Funeral?

Tim was like hanging out at the game with a friend.

In 1982 the Phillies would have Tim and Richie Ashburn do an inning together on their telecast. They were the best in my book.

2001, seventh game, bottom of the ninth, AZ has the bases loaded, Yankees have Mariano on the mound. Score tied 2-2. Luis Gonzalez at the plate. McCarver says: the yankees have the infield in and against left handers Mo tends to saw them off. What happens next? Mo saws Gonzalez off, ball barely makes it out of the infield dirt, AZ wins. Great call Tim. RIP

How about calling hockey with Ken Dryden?

"Three person booths are tough" he made it work with him, Frank Gifford and Dan Deirdorff and FOX has made it work with Kevin, Gregg and Mike .

Why do all these interviews ask Al about baseball? Or the 1980 Olympics. He’s Al Michaels, and he’s known for Monday Night Football. Why not ask him about football?

Tim McCarver robbed my favorite baseball player of a home run….as a catcher. I also remember during the World Series in 2005 his talking about a relief pitcher on the Astros who had given up some key runs in a prior appearance but that he was way past it. The next pitch was hit out of the park for a walk-off win by the White Sox. High larious

Cosell was passable when covering boxing. That's it. Putting him on baseball was ridiculous.

I didn't realize that Mr. McCarver died recently until watching this video and am shocked! He was a very good "color" analyst on baseball and I was disappointed when he retired.

Al & Tim...a combination that never shut up.... headache 🥵

McCarver was the most annoying broadcaster I've ever heard. Studied antidotes.

Tim McCarver was simply HORRIBLE. Dude's colon was connected to his mouth.

Cowardly to badmouth cosell who isn't around to defend himself

Tim McCarver was arrogant jerk who during. 1986 world series was openly bias for Mets . I was so happy Deon Sanders called him out during Braves world series against the Blue Jays. McCarver was fraud and most players wanted to hit him. He would been awful manager and McCarver could not hold Madden jock strap.

I still wish he would've taken a bat to Deion.

What happened? Did he pass away? I enjoyed his show
