Title: Catcher
Description: From the jacket notes: "today the baseball catcher is a familiar but uninspiring figure. Decked out in the so-called tools of ignorance, he stolidly goes about his duty without attracting much attention. but it wasn't always that way, as Peter Morris shows in this lively and original history. . . . .It's an amazing story, told by baseball's indefatigable researcher and brilliant chronicler, Peter Morris. **Catcher** will change the way you thing about baseball, heroism - and most especially the man behind the plate."
A truly great book and wonderful addition to baseball history.
