DB ..... In American Baseball there are nine field positions....Catcher is the position behind home plate, he receives the ball from the Pitcher unless hit by the batter. I am lookly for 5 fairly prolific catchers, 3 of them played within New York City boundaries for the majority/all of their careers. I have 2 answers so far and each has gotten at least one of the answers correct.

Pinktacokitty....I'll tell you that Pudge Rodriguez played in New York briefly....he was not one of my selections....everyone else who selected chose at least one correct so far.

 

[RUlookingup]

If you come up with 5 others, we can play ball

 

[RUlookingup]

I don't care if you're a pitcher or catcher.....give it a try

 

[mrtnmoon]

I suck at games like this, that's why I quit playing DB's luck of the draw. however, since the greatest catcher ever to play the game played for my cincinnati reds, I'll give this one a shot.

Johnny Bench
Carlton Fisk
Yogi Berra
Thurman Munson
Gary Carter

 

[RUlookingup]

I'll let you know that you don't suck at games like this....thanks for playing.
