Munson was just not an all time great player. Sorry, guys. I'm a huge Yankees fan but he's all mystique and no production. I would even say he's lucky to have an MVP on his resume, as George Brett was clearly the superior player in 1976 (Brett OPS+ was 144 with 7.5 WAR compared to 126 and 5.3 WAR for Munson).
Even in his prime he spent several seasons hovering around replacement level with OPS+ of 105, 101 and 101. Last edited by packs; 12-21-2023 at 08:40 AM. |

Munson was a tremendous competitor, but, Bench, Fisk and Simmons might take issue with that "best" declaration.

They might. But Munson was as good or better than any of them. The three best catchers I ever saw were Berra, Bench and Munson.
