Hey I am starting a new feature here at Trooper York. Things that will only amouse me and Meade!Today's topic: who was the best catcher in baseball history. Yogi Berra or Johnny Bench.
No one else should really enter into the discussion. Mike Piazza. Lousey defense. Steroids. Calton Fisk. Com'on he played for the Red Sox. His destiny is to have his severed head on a tuna fish can. Mickey Cochrane. Who the fuck ever heard of Mickey Cochrane besides hd house?
So it is between Yogi and Johnny as to who is the greatest catcher of all time.
The stats.
Yogi -appeared in 14 World Series, 15 All-Star games, batted .285 career, 358 home runs, 1,430 rbi's, 2,150 hits. He won 13 world series and was one of only six managers in history to take a team to the World Series in both leagues.
Johnny-appeared in four world series and won twice. 14 time All Star, batted .267 for his career,
389 home runs, 1,376 rbi's, 2,048 hits. No one has trusted him with their team.
Johnny was the MVP twice. Yogi three times.
Both are in the Hall of Fame. But by any measure.....Yogi was the greatest catcher of all time.

Roy Campanella wasn't chopped liver.
No but he isn't in the discussion.
Plus Meade has a problem with black guys. Just sayn'
Yogi, without a doubt.
He is also the best philosopher America has produced yet.
He has a problem with gays too. Are their fags in baseball?
Yes. They general play on the Red Sox and Mets. Just sayn'
Oh and not that there's anything wrong with that.
I was only kidding about the black guys Titus.
He just hates the Dominicans.
Titus fainted when Yogi wrapped his legs around Don Larsen at the end of the perfect game.
Titus told me not to tell but I'm tellin' because guess what?...I'm a rat fink.
Ray Schalk?
Ernie Lombardi?
Jim Hegan?
Pudge Rodriguez?
naaaa....It's Berra. Really the most successful player of all time, even Ruth included!
Runners thrown out? Stolen bases? Total career salaries? Number of wives?
I rest my case.
Number of HOT wives?
