Bill Dickey was unquestionably one of the game's greatest receivers, if not the greatest (See Greatest Catcher Article). An expert handler of pitchers and the owner of a deadly-accurate throwing arm, the rangy Yankee backstop was a durable and tireless worker. He set a record by catching 100 or more games 13 years in a row. Dickey also excelled at the plate, batting over .300 in ten of his first 11 seasons while hitting 202 homers during his career. He played in 38 World Series games.
