Quote
Tim McCarver, who parlayed his lengthy 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 major league 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 nods and finished second in the 1967 National League MVP voting. From there, he became something of a journeyman, with stints in Philadelphia (twice), Montreal, St. Louis a second time and Boston. His final seasons were spent helping the Phillies win three straight NL East titles from 1976 to 1978 as ace Steve Carlton’s “personal catcher” before McCarver retired after the 1979 season.

This is from when he got his start wth the Phillies as broadcaster--good banter with Whitey Ashburn. The working once a week crack is about his being Carlton's catcher.

Yep. So much so that I had no idea that he was a former Major Leaguer.

I liked him on "Homicide."  Didn't watch the shows he was on after that, although I'm sure he continued to be quirky and entertaining.  RIP

Gary Rossington, last surviving original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Somehow made it to 71.

Saw them in 2019. Was hoping to see them again.
