Question about dead ball era catchers

Posted By: Julie

So the "thinking man's catcher" (Ewing) threw a PB every 2 games! Wow. I guess Yogi should be the modern standard-- each 22 games.

The earliest photo I have of a catcher squatting is--I think-- Cochrine in about 1923 (now somebody will say that Cochrine didn't start playing in the majors till 29 or 30!). This includes the entire T202 set, which I once owned, and have collected again all but 37 of (for anyone who doesn't know, each card of the set, 1912, has a black and white action photo between two color lithographs).
