It's truly a shame that all the great defenders of the past--especially the pre-war era--are all but forgotten, as their greatness wasn't documented in the stats. Someone, truly great in the field and okay at bat, surely deserves the same/more attention as someone great at bat and okaypoor in the field.
Where have all the great catches gone? What did they look like? The great assists from the outfield? The amazing stabs, double plays, etc???
