LEAGUE NAME National League |
Roy Campanella was a superb catcher who attacked the ball for both power and average. The roly-poly receiver was quick and agile behind the plate - with a rifle arm. In addition, he was an expert handler of pitchers and a natural leader of the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1948-57. The 3-time MVP set a number of fielding and home run records for catchers until a tragic auto accident in 1958 ended his playing career.
