Baseball Historian Biography

Tim McCarver, the broadcaster for network television, was a fine catcher in a career that spanned 21 years. He was the batting hero for the St. Louis Cardinals in their 1964 World Series win over the Yankees. He finished second in the MVP Award in 1967, when he and teammate Orlando Cepeda helped the Cardinals win another pennant. Again in 1968, McCarver sparkled in the World Series against the Tigers, smashing a game winning 3-run homer in Game 3, and by lining two triples in each of the Cardinals other two wins. McCarver had good speed for a catcher and set a major league record by hitting 13 triples in 1966, becoming the only catcher in history to lead the league in three-baggers. McCarver was traded to the Phillies after the 1969 season and missed most of the 1970 season due to injuries; from then on he was mostly used as a backup catcher and first baseman. Tim McCarver's career: .271 BA, 1501 hits in 5529 at bats, 242 D's, 57 T's, 97 HR's, 645 RBI's. baseballhistorian.com
