Great question!

I'm going to guess Chris Hoiles for the one after Cochrane and Josh Gibson for the one before.

Gibson is correct! One more to go...

ETA: Gibson did it after Cochrane. The remaining player did it before.

I think I got my before and after mixed up. Gibson would be after so I'll guess King Kelly as my before.

You got it, Rad_Hazard!

Josh Gibson had a .560 OBP in 1943 and appeared in 62 games at catcher for the Homestead Grays.

King Kelly had a .483 OBP in 1886 and appeared in 53 games at catcher for the Chicago White Stockings.

Mickey Cochrane had a .459 OBP in 1933 and appeared in 128 games at catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics.

Woohoo! Great trivia!

Kelly was a beast at the plate so I guessed him over Ewing.

Where was Biz Mackey? - on the list?

I know he's a HOF catcher, but have never looked into his offense.


Josh Gibson:

.560!! What a hitter!

I looked these up quickly so it's possible I missed someone, but I think these are the next four on the list:

Biz Mackey, 1929 (.449, 50 games at C)
Wally Schang, 1928 (.448, 82 games at C)
Jack Clements, 1895 (.446, 88 games C) <- I never would've guessed this one!
Joe Mauer, 2009 (.444, 109 games at C)
