Jorge Posada’s retirement got me looking at the Yankees all-time catcher’s statistics. One thing that stands out in particular is Posada’s on base percentage, which is second only to Bill Dickey, which is 101 points above his career average. Also, each of these catchers played their entire career with the Yanks except a few at-bats for Berra with the Mets and Howard’s last two seasons were with Boston.
Accolades of Note:
All of them have their number retired with the Yankees.
Yogi Berra: 10 WS rings, 3 time MVP, HOF and did it all while standing 5’7” tall
Jorge Posada: 5 WS rings, 5 time All-Star
Bill Dickey: 7 WS rings, 11 time All-Star
Elston Howard: 1st African American player on NYY, 1963 MVP, 9 time All-Star, 4 WS rings
Thurman Munson: Captain, 2 WS rings, 1973 ROY, 1976 MVP
