The St. Louis Cardinals announced this afternoon the passing of Cardinals Hall of Fame catcher Tim McCarver.
A member of three Cardinals World Series teams, McCarver caught 12 seasons in St. Louis over a 21-year career and finished second in NL MVP voting in 1967.
He was named the recipient of the prestigious Ford C. Frick broadcasting award by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012.
Condolences go out to the McCarver family and his many baseball friends and colleagues.
