Excerpt
Baseball is America's pastime and an important part of the American tradition. The names of big-hitting heroes like Henry Aaron and Babe "The Babe" Ruth have become household names. Defensive greats like Ryne Sandberg and pitching stars such as Nolan Ryan are well known among baseball fans. However, while the spotlight shines on the hitters and the pitchers, the catcher sits behind the plate and quietly does his job. Catchers rarely get the credit they deserve.
