September 25, 20206 yr As Molina had his 2000 hit last night who are the hit leaders when appearing as a catcher? This is what someone posted.Ivan Rodriguez - 2749Jason Kendall - 2160Carlton Fisk - 2145Yadier Molina - 1978AJ Pierzynski - 1971Ted Simmons - 1908Gary Carter - 1907Mike Piazza - 1906Bill Dickey - 1896Yogi Berra - 1765Gaby Hartner - 1738Johnny Bench - 1646Joe Mauer - 1118 I don't think Mauer gets in the HOF for several years with that number of hits because others like Madlock won 3 or more batting titles. Can Molina get 183 hits to be number 2 in hits for catchers? The catcher is the middle linebacker of the defense though he can't run very well. He will be back next year. Never forgot his HR in Game 7 in New York in the 9th inning that broke a tie in the 2006 NLCS which led to a WS title and in the bottom of the 9th called for an unhittable curve ball striking out Beltran with the bases loaded.
September 25, 20206 yr I think Yadi gets into the HOF for Gold Glove defense, durability & longevity, and 10 years of post season excellence. Interesting: His no. 1 comp at BB Ref is A.J. Gotta love it.
