Baseball's All-Time Best Catcher
 

I don't know if we've ever done this before but I thought it'd be interesting to put together a TPWW all time baseball team for shits and giggles. Plus these sorts of things always lead to rousing debates. So we'll start with catcher.

Michael Barrett

Dunno how good Johnny Bench was defensively but if he was good, then I'd consider him
Mike Piazza

Johnny Bench was the best defensive catcher ever.

Joe Mauer

It's always between Bench and I-Rod for me. Gibson never got the chance in the majors, so it's hard for me to choose him.

Bench though.

Soft spot for Berra.

Johnny Bench. No question. The best defensive catcher of all-time and - along with Fisk, IRod, and Piazza - one of the best offensive catchers, as well. Yes, he had the benefit of playing on outstanding Reds teams, but he would have put up the same numbers anywhere else.

This one was easy.

I went with Fisk out of slight bias, but he really is one of, if not the best of all-time.

Bench

Yogi bear.
