It’s not uncommon for a player to be know for the performance of a single game or two. Oakland A’s catcher Terry Steinbach was part of three consecutive World Series teams from 1988-1990, and it is a pair of games from this period that he is still remembered for.

An autographed semi-high number card joins my set building project.
Jason Kendall was a catcher with a super power: Baseballs appeared drawn to him like a magnet. Kendall was hit by 254 pitches over a 15 year career, ranking him 5th on the all-time career leaderboard. If these trips to first base had been singles instead, his career batting average would have been 23 points higher and would rank ahead of Derek Jeter and Don Mattingly.
Can’t wait to see how your PSA order turned out? There’s a way to see the results a few days ahead of time.
Did you know a slow-footed catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals also played professional basketball?
Though Max Surkont had a 61-76 record for his career, he finished 40-36 for the Braves and never once posted a losing year in that span. He moved with the team to Milwaukee in 1953 and promptly became a local favorite, earning a lifetime supply of sausages.
