At the end of the last baseball season, Tim McCarver wasn’t sure if he wanted to do another year of broadcasting — something he has been doing since retiring in 1980 after 21 big-league seasons as a player.
The former catcher, who was about to turn 77, was unsure if he wanted to come back for a sixth season for a limited schedule of Cardinals games for Fox Sports Midwest. That’s a role he has filled following his record-setting 34-year run at the network level in which he was the lead analyst for the sport’s marquee events.
But he now is refreshed, has been approached about returning and plans to be back for another season.
