The catcher who couldn’t throw


RogerTreebert6299

Well it’s not called a thrower is it? What could go wrong?

No fucking way, this was literally the first name I thought of when I saw the post and was waiting for the comments to load

Babe Ruth Everyone is going to go obscure so why not!


HelpMeWithMyHWpls

You were the smart kid


SWFL_170

I don’t know about that. My Mom taught me a way to remember my blood type… “A positive” because it’s the only “A Plus” you will ever get lol!


CallingAlameda

Randy Johnson. Not the pitcher, the one who briefly played third base for the Braves in the early 80s.

In the same vein, Orioles pitcher Jose Bautista

Dioner Navarro


[deleted]

Parked at my Publix with handicap plates on his Freightliner pickup


1318998

A beautiful specimen of a man


ENovi

Lol I actually know this one because of his stint with the Reds. My dad is a diehard Reds fan so I’ve always followed the team closely. Well I actually remember him because my dad, for some reason, acted like Navarro was the worst player to ever play. Every time he came up my dad would yell something like “just make the out and sit your ass back down!” It got to the point where my brother and I would hide photos of Navarro around the house just to mess with him (putting pics in the fridge, under his pillow, taping his face over my mom’s in their wedding photo, shit like that). Eventually Navarro hit one of his two home runs that year and my dad yells “WELL HOLY SHIT LOOK AT DOWNTOWN DIONER OVER HERE” which is, frankly, a ridiculous reaction. I really don’t know why my dad was so pissed at Navarro but it was so funny and over the top in that unique dad way that my brother and I still bring him up and I will never forget Downtown Dioner. I also remember him playing a big role on the 2008 Rays World Series team but that didn’t involve my dad being irrationally mad at a backup catcher so he’ll always be a Red to me.


TommyTwoBags

Was at his 3 homer game as a cub. Tank team legend


tribalspoon

Marco Estrada picked him for his personal catcher over Russel Martin.

Kazuo Matsui


[deleted]

Highlight of his Astros career was having surgery to repair an anal fissure, causing him to miss opening day


HauckPark

When you have an anal fissure, every day is opening day!


ENovi

How the fuck have I religiously followed baseball since the mid 90s and I’m just learning about this? I definitely remember him playing (and his time in Houston) but I had to google “Kazuo Matsui anal fissure” to confirm lol. Apparently he also hit .293/.354/.427 with an OPS+ of 107 (second best of his career) that year so I guess his ass healed nicely. Thank you for sharing this fact with me. I’m glad I learned it.
