In honor of Tim McCarver, here is his third career game, his second appearance at catcher, and the first time he caught Bob Gibson. This was the first time the team won with him behind the plate, and it was Gibson's second career win, versus five losses.

Many of us have heard the story of McCarver going out to the mound when Gibson pitched and being told by the pitcher to get back behind the plate. "The only thing you know about pitching," Gibson said, "is how hard it is to hit."

It's quite possible that at some point during this 6-4 win, which ended with McCarver 0-10 at the plate so far in his career, Gibson said exactly that to McCarver first the very first time.

Note that while the person who scored this game shows McCarver getting singles in the 5th and 9th, both were actually fielder's choice outs where he ended up at first base.
