xxi, [1], 344, [2] pages. Index. James Timothy McCarver (born October 16, 1941) is an American sportscaster and former professional baseball catcher. McCarver played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Montreal Expos, and Boston Red Sox between 1959 and 1980. He appeared in the MLB All-Star Game in 1966 and 1967, and was the starting catcher for the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals in 1964 and 1967. McCarver began a career as a broadcaster, most notably for Fox Sports. McCarver called a then-record 23 World Series and 20 All-Star Games. He was the recipient of the 2012 Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting. Danny Peary (born 1949) has written and edited many books on cinema and sports-related topics. Peary is famous for his book Cult Movies, and two sequels, Cult Movies 2 and Cult Movies 3 and are all credited for increasing public interest to the cult movies. Tim McCarver, baseball's preeminent analyst, has set down how the game should be played and watched. With his wit and storytelling verve, McCarver succinctly explains the fundamentals and proper mechanics of baseball at the level necessary for success in the major leagues. Once the skills have been learned, the viewer can devise smart strategies, getting into the heads of the players, coaches, and managers: When should a player or manager be conservative or aggressive; what factors change as the count goes deeper; how do you set up an effective running game, and how can a defense try to block it? Baseball for Brain Surgeons and Other Fans is a gold mine for all fans and anyone learning how to play or coach the game. With the deeper knowledge and understanding of baseball that Brain Surgeons provides, any fan will be able to watch it like a pro. …
