With me being a baseball fan, I had the pleasure of listening to the great Bob Sheppard, Joe Morgan, Joe Buck, Michael Kay and “other announcers call Yankee games.” Recently Tim McCarver went overboard. How do you compare a former coach of the New York Yankees to a World War II leader? You can’t. You don’t. World War II was a horrible war from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the Germans and concentration camps. For those who don’t know this is what Tim said during the Old-Timer Days on Saturday:
“You remember some of those despotic leaders in World War II, primarily in Russia and Germany, where they used to take those pictures that they had … taken of former generals who were no longer alive, they had shot ‘em,” McCarver said Saturday. “They would airbrush the pictures, and airbrushed the generals out of the pictures. In a sense, that’s what the Yankees have done with Joe Torre. They have airbrushed his legacy. I mean, there’s no sign of Joe Torre at the Stadium. And that’s ridiculous. I don’t understand it.”–Taken from espn.com
“Tim what is wrong with you?!” Yes I understand the Yankees did not mention Joe Torre. I was there, but you don’t say something like that!
Your apology was only sub-par. You deserve to take the walk of shame into the depth of hell.
Regards: The Person Who Will Still Listen To You To Make Fun of You.
