Tim McCarver was an American Major League Baseball catcher and sportscaster who had a net worth of $10 million at the time of his death in February 2022. Tim McCarver played professional baseball for 21 years then transitioned into one of the game's most admired broadcasters.

As a broadcaster for Fox Sports he called dozens of World Series and All-Star games. He's won three Emmys for his broadcasting work.
Tim McCarver was born in Memphis, Tennessee on October 16, 1941. He graduated from Christian Brothers High School in Memphis. He made his Major League debut on September 10, 1959 for the St. Louis Cardinals. He continued to play for the Cardinals until 1970 at which point he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.
