As a youngster growing up just south of St. Louis I loved McCarver as the catcher of three World Series teams (64/67/68). In fact I think (I think) he is still the only catcher to steal home in a WS game.

However as a Color Man - he's dreadful. I watch the Series games and listen to a real broadcast on XM Radio (greatest invention since prewar cards).

He's was however, a good foil for Deion Sanders' bucket of ice water during a post game locker room celebration. "You're a real man, Deion!"
