In 1958 rookie Schmidt won the Giants' catching job and a spot on the NL All-Star team with an early-season batting tear. [See All-Star Catchers.] He finished with 14 HR, led NL catchers in double plays, and set a since-broken record with 22 putouts in one game. After 1958, Schmidt was platooned. While playing for the Washington Senators in 1962, Bob led all American League catchers in Fielding Percentage with a .997 average.
