[edit] Bias
The issue of bias has been brought up by several different editors. At this point, it is time to include at least a sentence or two on the subject. Since this is Tim's 'time of year, we shouldn't wait long before adding the appropriate language. Thoughts? Coffeemilk 05:54, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know one single big Yankee fan who doesn't hate McCarver and think he's biased against the Yankees. Why not mention this, too? Tim 4:49 Oct. 29 2005 UTC.
[edit] Last World Series Player To Steal Home Plate
Anyone know if that is still true? 71.194.6.238 03:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stupid Statements
I think at this point a section on the stupid things Tim says on air needs to exist. I think he is losing his mind. mikeford 6:03 Nov. 03 2005
I agree mccarver is an idiot. remember when a ball hit off the top of the monster and he said that if the seats weren't there it would be a hr because of the net. also brandon arroyo
I'm pretty sure that McCarver had a stroke several years ago, but hasn't been diagnosed yet. I have a vague memory of him talking about Derek Jeter's eyes at one point during the 2004 playoffs. Anyway, I added a link to Shut Up Tim McCarver, which may get removed but which I feel is valid at least partially because it shows up as the third hit when one Googles McCarver.

[edit] Mark Wahlberg fastball
Actually, McCarver said something along the lines of Mark Wohlberg, sounding more like a combination of the last names of Mark Wahlberg and Mark Wohlers. I heard it, and others have reported it too, so it might be worth mentioning in the article. -Ramrod? 00:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Someone should add that Mark Wahlberg's name is not Wohlberg, as McCarver spoke it. That is a detail that makes his gaffe even more wrong. And more awesome. Terriblefriend 22:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] McCarver and Carlton deaths, 60 feet, 6 inches
The para needs a source, but what the heck...I laughed so hard, I almost blew an artery...let it go.... hahahahaha Luigibob 13:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
