Besides duties behind the plate, the majority of Career Catchers have
also played other positions. The following is an All-Time Team of career catchers (ie. most games played at)
aligned with their actual alternate positions. In effect, a Manager could fill out his all-catcher lineup card with
the guys who wore the Tools Of Ignorance using the other positions at which they actually played in the majors.
[Note: Catchers shown with an ** are
in the Hall-Of-Fame. AVG = Batting Average,
OBP = On-Base Percentage, SLG = Slugging Average.]
