Catcher: How the Man Behind the Plate Became an American Folk Hero
By Administrator | May 25, 2009
Dan Genovese of the Westfield Wheelmen sent this link to the new Peter Morris book called Catcher: How the Man Behind the Plate Became an American Folk Hero. 
Publisher’s Weekly review
Morris (But Didn’t We Have Fun?) offers a thorough look at the evolution of the catcher from the 1870s-when the position “became the ultimate example of the American ideal of the rugged individualist”-to the early 1900s. Indeed, the position was not for the timid. Early catchers dealt with pitches and foul tips without the benefit of today’s fancy protection, just a pair of gnarled hands and tons of grit.
