Tom McCarthy Back in the Booth

Posted by Brian Michael, Tue, November 27, 2007 08:02 PM

Abbreviated from the Phillies Press Release:

Tom McCarthy, who spent the last two seasons as a play-by-play announcer for the New York Mets on WFAN, is returning to his roots as a member of the Phillies broadcasting team, Rob Brooks, Manager, Broadcasting announced today. His contract is five years in length.

“He will do play-by-play for three innings when Hall of Famer Harry Kalas is not on television. Harry will continue to provide play-by-play for six innings on TV while also doing the fourth inning on radio as he’s done in years past,” said Brooks.

Jim Jackson will return handling pre- and post-game shows on WPHT The Big Talker 1210 AM and the Phillies radio network.

Scott Franzke will keep his play-by-play duties while Larry Andersen, Chris Wheeler and Gary Matthews return as color commentators.

    Why is Gary Matthews back for a second season? Does somebody in management owe him a big favor? We would rather turn the sound off when he is in the booth and listen to the radio broadcast. Nice guy, but come on! Not an announcer!

  6. Geoff Says:

    Actually, I think Gary Matthews knows a lot more about baseball and is a better announcer than Chris Wheeler. I dont like Matthews in the middle innings, i prefer him in the beginning and the end of the game. tom mccarthy is excellent though a good successor to harry if he ever decides to retire.
