For 21 years, Tim McCarver was one of the best game callers behind the dish. Most catchers are lucky to last 10! His best pitcher/catcher relationship came with Bob Gibson, who had a career 2.44 career ERA when throwing to him.

Without McCarver, Gibson's ERA blew up to a still respectable 3.02. And during games Gibson pitcher to McCarver, the catcher hit a lot of home runs, proving just how mutual the relationship was.
