I just saw a Sports Century profile on Johnny Bench. I completely forgot about Johnny! What a catcher he was.

So who do you think are the greatest catchers in baseball? Past or present.

I will post my choices later.

Thurman Munson would have probably had a really great career had he not died in the plane crash in 1979.

Carlton Fisk and Mike Piazza are also among the best catchers in baseball.
