Tim McCarver Ball Quotations

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

Speed slows down the game.

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!

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.

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

Look at Benito Santiago. When he first signed, there was definitely a language barrier. But he could throw, and if you can do that and block the balls in the dirt, that speaks volumes.

He (Colon) is not throwing the ball hard now.
