Weight: 183 lbs.

Tim was a star catcher for more than 20 years in the big leagues; in fact, he is one of the rare players to have appeared in the majors in four different decades. After his playing career, he became one of the most respected baseball broadcasters in the business, being the television voice of the Mets for many years. Shown here is a 1968 Topps Game card (which was an insert into regular packs). Two more cards are pictured below.
