Listening to McCarver always made me realize how little I understood the strategy and nuances of baseball.

Same here. I learned much about the game listening to his analysis.

RIP

This is an interesting memory. I was not born yet, but my mother took my brothers to that same event. One of my brothers was running full speed and ran into a pane of glass that he didn’t realize was there and knocked himself silly. Even though I wasn’t there, I laugh about that every time I hear Tim McCarver’s name.

Seems like I remember some kind of odd incident that happened there, but I can't be sure. I'm fairly old.
