Talk:Top ten catchers of all-time/@comment-Alex Holowczak-2006051772424

I think Jorge Posada could squeak on to the list in future. I must say, I am not too big on baseball history, and I thought Yogi Berra was a character on Huckelberry Hound... Or the guy that invented TV... You have the top 10 batters statistically, hence Berra behind Bench. But I think it takes more than a good batting average to make a catcher the best. He needs to be the joker, the looney that Berra sounds like (from what I&quot;ve read). The Catcher position is something I agree with. In cricket, the old-style traditional wicket-keepers (the equivalent of catchers), that were able to field brilliantly, but not bat much are being replaced, by wicket-keepers that can bat well, even if their wicket-keeping isn&quot;t up to scratch. The team is gambling that they will score more runs than the wicket-keeping errors cost them.
