One anecdote regarding McCarver that I heard from somewhere is that in some game God knows when, him and Bob Gibson had a mound conference and you know Mc was trying to calm Gibson down. Gibson looked him in the eyes and said "All you know about pitching is that it's hard to hit."

All McCarver knows about being a colour guy is that it's hard to do. I respect the fact that he's done something to reach where he is, however he is still a terrible colour guy.
