I was (and still am) a huge Reds fan and Johnny Bench will always be my favorite player and I think the greatest catcher.
But a catcher that I think was overlooked during that era, probably because of Bench, was Ted Simmons. He was an excellent switch-hitter, a blue collar kind of guy with a long solid career--a guy I would love to have on my team. His fielding was no where near Bench, but I thnk was adequate. |
