Greatest Catchers of All Time

A one-of-a-kind book - a one-of-a-kind series. In this unique book, Donald Honig highlights the careers of the 15 greatest catchers of all time. The catcher is a ballplayer with few luxuries; he is also the one player whose most important contributions to his team's success go unnoticed by the public. Don examines the best players at this position; the men who view the field from the other way around, encased in archaic-looking equipment & are forced to spend most of their time in a squatting position. The remaining books in this series will examine the greatest players for all other positions. He includes players such as Roger Bresnahan, Johnny Kling, Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, Carlton Fish, Thurman Munson, & others. Richly illustrated with over 120 black & white photos. Honig has written over 30 books about baseball. Some of his classics include: BASEBALL WHEN THE GRASS WAS REAL, THE IMAGE OF THEIR GREATNESS (with Lawrence Ritter), & BASEBALL: THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF AMERICA'S GAME.Honig, Donald is the author of 'Greatest Catchers of All Time' with ISBN 9780697128065 and ISBN 0697128067.
