Fox Sports baseball analyst Tim McCarver is a guy who takes a lot of heat -- particularly here in Boston, where many people seem to think he has an anti-Red Sox agenda. While I've never felt that way, I believe that I already get to hear McCarver quite enough, thank you, during his regularly scheduled baseball telecasts.

Those who disagree will soon be able to buy a CD of McCarver -- not talking, but singing. During last weekend's Phillies-Mets telecast, McCarver promoted the release of his new recording: "Tim McCarver sings selections from the great American songbook."

Here's the Amazon.com product description: "Major League Baseball legend and Fox Sports commentator Tim McCarver brings out the best in this classic collection, 'Sings Selections from the Great American Songbook.' Produced by Sid Selvidge and cut with a host of Memphis recording greats (Tony Thomas, Tom Lonardo, Sam Shoup, Jim Spake, Steve Selvidge, more), 'Sings' blows the dust off some of the most moving vintage American standards from the last century and gives new life to each selection chosen carefully by the former All Star and World Series winner."

Dan Levy of The Sporting News is apparently not a fan of McCarver's broadcast style, but he doesn't mind his singing, and advises Tim: "I speak for all baseball fans when I say this: quit your day job. Please. "
