Tom McCarthy
Phillies Broadcaster and an NFL Announcer for CBS.
Tom McCarthy is an American sports broadcaster. He is the play-by-play announcer for Philadelphia Phillies television broadcasts and also calls National Football League games for Westwood One and called select NFL games for CBS beginning in 2014 after filling for Sam Rosen in week 6 in 2013. McCarthy has also been the play-by-play voice of Saint Joseph's University men's and women's basketball teams.
McCarthy spent five seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies (2001–2005) as a radio play-by-play voice and as their pre-game and post-game radio host. McCarthy also has served as the play-by-play announcer for the Double-A Trenton Thunder for six seasons. He has also been a play-by-play voice for Rutgers University football and for national football and basketball broadcasts on the CBS Sports Network (formerly known as CSTV), the Atlantic 10 TV network, Westwood One, and the Sports USA Radio Network.
After two seasons as a play-by-play announcer for the National League East rival New York Mets on WFAN, McCarthy signed a five-year deal to return to Philadelphia. Following the death of Harry Kalas, McCarthy took over television play-by-play on a full-time basis.McCarthy is one of three broadcasters to have covered both the Mets and Phillies on a regular basis (the others being Tim McCarver and Todd Kalas).
McCarthy spent nearly a decade broadcasting Princeton University football and men's basketball. He was the play-by-play voice for the Tigers during their 43-41 upset win over defending NCAA champion UCLA in the 1996 NCAA tournament and during their 27-2 run through the 1997-98 season.

He performed the same role for Sports USA. His current partner is Rod Woodson, formally with Tony Boselli, and his substitute is Chuck Cooperstein. McCarthy is one of the current broadcasters who cover both NFL and MLB.
