Most historians list Deacon White as a 3rd baseman. He only played 458 games at catcher in his long career ( 29%) of his games played.
Ewing , I think the only HOF catcher (?) from the 19th Century ,played only 48% of his games at catcher !!!! After reading a lot of 19th Century newspapers,The best catcher, in my opinion, (who was really a catcher in the 19th century) was Charlie Bennett. He played 954 games out of 1062 as catcher (89.8%). Faber ratings have Bennett ranked 4th as catcher, behind others who only played catcher part time. I see Deacon White was ranked 6th on the 3rd baseman list according to his ranking. Good discussion. I can't believe only 1 catcher from the 19th Century should be in the Hall of Fame and that he only catch 48% of the time. Let's get a true catcher in the HOF from the 19th Century!!!
