Tim McCarver, who had retired to the broadcast booth at the end of the 1979 season, briefly returned to the Phils’ roster.  His cameo appearance allowed him to claim the distinction of playing in four different decades (1959-1980).  His role was mainly as a pinch hitter, although he did play first base twice.  Though he was a catcher for the bulk of his career, he did not don the “tools of ignorance” in 1980.
