Carlton Fisk
Baseball Aficionado's...Could you honestly compare Mickey Cochran, Yogi Berra and Carlton Fisk..?
Mickey Cochran caught behind the plate in the late 1920's through the 1930's for the Philadelphia Athletics and Detroit Tigers.
Yogi Berra caught behind the plate during the so-called "push-button" team of the 1950's-60's, the N.Y. Yankees.
Carlton Fisk...Baseball's most durable catcher with 24 years behind the plate, Carlton "Pudge" Fisk caught more games (2,226) than any player in history. Fisk played for the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox 1968-1993.
Could you make an arguement to have any one, or none, capable of stepping into the shoes of the other two?
Who would be the most fluid of the three?...
Or would Johnny Bench (Cincinnati Reds 1967-83) out catch-be able to move the players around and call the pitchers better than any of the mentioned three?
Your choice...If possible?
As a Lifetime long Yankee fan it would be easy for me to pick Yogi. He has more hardware than all of the other combined, but that is a product of him being a member of a powerful and talent latent team. He was a very sound and intelligent catcher. I would list him second.
Mickey Cochran I have no opinion on. I never saw him play and only know that Mickey Mantle's dad thought so highly of him that he named his son after him.
Carlton Fisk was a joy to watch growing up. He was an outstanding catcher and game caller that seemed to get the hit when it counted the most unless it was to win it all only to prolong the agony that was the RED SOX. He gave them hope so that it could be snatched back away the next day. I would vote him #3.
Johnny Bench. What else is there to say he was the best that I have seen. He was also surrounded by a very talented team that we all refer to as the BIG RED MACHINE. They were exciting to watch and with the like of Pete( The Gambler) Rose and Joe Morgan and host of other they to were a little dynasty. I just wish that Thurman Munson would not have been killed in the accident. He and Johnny had a little thing going and Thurman had a lot of skill, we will just never know how much. Bench is #1 on this list.
