Koji only ended up being the ALCS MVP.<br /><br />Thankfully I was spared the McCarver career highlights, since I was at Fenway for the game (the second best part of being there). After FOX decided to talk about ARod for the entire ninth inning of game 4 in 2007, I wouldn't have wanted FOX pushing themselves into another Red Sox championship. Especially McCarver.Section 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/18194098940017348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-50447916906699222872013-11-01T16:02:05.332-04:002013-11-01T16:02:05.332-04:00I caught that too, and it was strange that he glos...I caught that too, and it was strange that he glossed over his earlier broadcast years.<br /><br />One other thing . . . I don't know how the Red Sox fans felt about it, but had it been 2008 I wouldn't have wanted my team's World Series victory to have been closed out with a McCarver retrospective.

One this I didn't like was when he said something like, "In my first year in the booth, 1985...". He was with the Phils 5 years earlier, and with the Mets starting in 1983. C'mon, Tim.
