Tim McCarver: We will never see another competitor like Bob Gibson

Baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial, perhaps the greatest Cardinal of all time, summed up another candidate for that title in seven simple words: "Gibby is one of baseball's greatest competitors." Gibby, of course, is Bob Gibson, and his fiercely competitive nature is one of the many traits he possessed that allowed him to succeed at such a high level.

Alex Rodriguez Has High Praise For Joe Buck and Tim McCarver

Alex Rodriguez has an impressively diversified portfolio in both the sports and business worlds and is constantly juggling balls in the air. But talk to anyone about Rodriguez and one of the things that becomes clear is that he loves to study the texture of all 216 stitches while they are in the air.

Awful Announcing

After opting out in 2020, Tim McCarver will remain out of Cardinals booth for foreseeable future

“Everything is fine with me, I’m very healthy...I just have to use common sense.”. The impact of COVID-19 was felt all across the 2020 MLB season in various ways.

That included Tim McCarver, who ultimately decided not to participate in the 2020 season as an analyst for the St. Louis Cardinals. While he was interested in calling games, the advice of his doctor, coupled with the inability to travel to St. Louis for Fox Sports Midwest broadcasts, ultimately caused the then-78-year-old to stay home and stay safe.
