Tim McCarver quotes:

As a new day begins in New York, the sun sets in Hawaii.

Bob Gibson is the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. He always pitches when the other team doesn't score any runs.

When Steve Carlton and I die, we're gonna be burried 60'6" apart.

Watch Darren Daulton use his mitt like a glove.

Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes.

Carlton does not pitch to the hitter, he pitches through him. The batter hardly exists for Steve. He's playing an elevated game of catch.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter; that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit!

The playoffs are the wedge between the season and the World Series. If you lose, it means you won't be going to the greatest sports event in this country...You're forgotten by Thanksgiving.

When Steve and I die, we are going to be buried in the same cemetery, 60-feet 6-inches apart.

Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.

I think Tim Wakefield would even say tonight that Tim Wakefield got to Tim Wakefield tonight,

Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple.

Speed slows down the game.

Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out.

The only difference between resigning and resigning is a hyphen.

If somebody told me back in 1980 that I would have a 32-year career, and that I'd be [elected into the Hall of Fame], I'd say no way. For three years, I couldn't even break into the Phillies broadcast booth. I was just hoping to make it, much less be mentioned as a Ford Frick winner. Believe me, when I started out, this award wasn't even close to being on the radar.

A walk is as good as a home run.

In many ways, it is easier to hit a pitcher when he is wild.

One thing about ground balls: they don't go out of the ballpark.

Something to keep in mind - it's raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls.

That pitch wasn't down and in, that pitch was down and up.

The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder.

When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.
