Default The All Century Team - A Retrospective

Posted By: George Dreher

I don't think there is anyone who can be placed above him at catcher. He has been eclipsed in slugging, but watch the tapes of him catching. He was the greatest defensive catcher ever. One handing every pitch like a human vacuum cleaner. Even one-handing pitches in the dirt that would have gotten by all the others. No one could throw to second with his precision. He used to practice throwing to second on his knees from home plate!
