It's a shame that there are more out there than Joe Morgan and Tim McCarver.

Can anyone tell me who it was that said "tie goes to the runner"? I heard it but didn't know who the broadcaster was. Thanks.

I don't remember, but it happened just before I posted on October 6th at 4:35 Pacific time. If you go back and look at who was playing at that time, and then find who the lead broadcaster was, then you will have the culprit. It was not the color commentator, it was whoever was the play-by-play TV guy.

I believe it was Dick Stockton.

Oh dear GAWD, this guy is so brutal. While I understand that the networks actually think that people who do not normally watch baseball are watching the playoffs (not really happening according to the ratings) but please can someone convince Tim McCarver to start his vacation three weeks early?

And now you know why millions of umpires and other sports officials still hold Deion Sanders in such high regard for "baptizing" McCarver a few years back.

Priceless.

TeeMac was an equally promising football player. The reason he chose baseball (outside of the money) was because it was too far away from the fans for them to best see him.

T was a head hunter, for sure, he would knock the beejesoose out of you. When he turned down Tennesssee, people thought he was nutzoid. Gotta give him credit, dude spanked the signing bonus clause using football as his edge.

"Ears" could lay you cold on the 50 but he never took to blockin' balls. He was good at hitting criples, the one he pegged in the side of the head druing basketball with a basketball, half court throw.

T-Mac was a treat and he and Musberger must have hit it off great as F2-PU
