McCarver joined FOX
Sports after a two-year stint as a
game analyst for The Baseball
Network broadcasts on ABC Sports.
He rejoined ABC in
1994 after a four-year stint with
CBS Sports. After 16 seasons as an
analyst for New York Mets baseball
broadcasts, McCarver is in his
second season broadcasting New York
Yankees games on FOX5/WNYW-TV in New
York, teaming with Bobby Murcer.
McCarver served as
lead analyst for CBS Sports'
broadcasts of Major League Baseball
- including the All-Star Game,
National League Championship Series
and World Series -- from 1990 to
1993. He teamed with Joe's father
Jack Buck for the network's first
two seasons (1990-1991) and then
Sean McDonough (1992-1993).
During his first
stint as an analyst for ABC's
baseball coverage (1984-89),
McCarver covered the 1984 and 1986
National League Championship Series,
the 1985, 1987 and 1989 World
Series, and the 1986 and 1988
All-Star Games. In 1959, McCarver
signed with the St. Louis Cardinals
out of Christian Brothers High
School in Memphis, Tenn. In addition
to 12 seasons with the Redbirds, he
spent eight-and-a-half years with
the Philadelphia Phillies, half a
season with the Montreal Expos, and
two seasons with the Boston Red Sox.
One of a handful
of four-decade players in major
league history (1959-80), McCarver
played in two All-Star Games (1966,
1967), three League Championship
Series (1976-78), was a member of
two world championship teams in St.
Louis (1964, 1967) and was the
hottest hitter in the 1964 World
Series against the New York Yankees
when he led all regulars with a .478
batting average.
A successful
author, McCarver's most recent
efforts, The Perfect Season and Tim
McCarver's Baseball For Brain
Surgeons And Other Fans;
Understanding and Interpreting the
Game So You Can Watch It Like a Pro,
were written with acclaimed
sportswriter and film and television
critic Danny Peary and published by
Villard. His other book, O Baby, I
Love It! (1986), was also published
by Villard.
