Hi Paul,

Growing up I always had a greater appreciation for certain position players in each sport. Catchers in baseball...goalies in hockey...and quarterbacks in football.

What's the connection? Each of these key positions are the respective brains of the team or "field generals."

There is also the visual appeal of a vintage catcher's equipment..his mask, chest protector, oversized mitt, and shin guards which further adds to the attraction.
