It's ridiculous that Scott Rolen is in the HOF and Tim McCarver isn't !!! But I could probably say the same thing about 50 other players. They need some new voters for the HOF . The MLB network did a nice job with an overview of McCarvers' career today. Chris Russo dedicated his entire show to McCarver. I always think of him as Steve Carltons' designated catcher here in Philly. But he was close to Bob Gibson too. WRZ 2023-02-16

Steve Carlton personal catcher. Very sad to hear. He's going to be missed. 1986 was a phenomenal year with Ralph Kiner and Steve Zibriski(sp).
