Pitchers & Catchers report this weekend!

I listed 7 HOFers, along with Piazza and Rodriguez, who probably deserve a listing (offensively & defensively, respectively) compared to their predecessors.

I voted for Bench. He was a key cog in The Big Red Machine.

Johnny Bench could do it all. Best ever, without a doubt.

Plus, the Baseball Bunch was a great show. wink

I know I'm relying almost exclusively on exagerated stories from a bunch of old timers, but what the hell I'll say Josh Gibson.

Johnny Bench.

What..no Terry Steinbach for his face shield. Tony Rena for his crouching style?

Campanella. The Piazza of the 50s and a key Dodger in the Series victories of 55 and 59. Tragically cut short by an auto accident, he also had to put up with major racial discrimination on the field like his teammate Jackie Robinson.

Even though Gibson could hit circles around him... allegedly.

Hell, they are all great catchers. I'm going to say Carter in honour of his induction into the Hall yesterday and because he was my favourite player when I was a lad.

Fisk deserves more than just one vote, though.

I am glad to see that most everyone knows it is Johnny Bench from the Big Red Machine.
