The Baseball Hall of Fame announced that Seaver died Monday from complications of Lewy body dementia and COVID-19.
Dementia.... was 75 years old
The word was Terrific.Seaver was awesome, RIP!
I played my little league ball in the 70s. Having a Tom Seaver signature glove was a big deal. I had Catfish Hunter. RIP Tom.
Seaver was awesome, RIP!
I had Ron Santo. I wish I still had it.
Good for you. With the shortage of catching talent that exists today, I don't understand why LH kids aren't given an equal shot at the position. There are so many LH hitters that I don't see throwing left-handed from behind the plate to be that much of a disadvantage anymore. If you can throw, you can throw. And if you can call a game and frame pitches, who cares which hand the mitt is on?I'm a lefty. I have a left handed catcher's mitt and caught for a few years.

Oh I understand the disadvantages, but they just don't seem insurmountable to me if a guy has good skills behind the plate. There are advantages to having a LH player at first base, but that's never prompted anyone to say RH throwers can't play first. I would view catching much the same way.I am pretty sure the reason is lefties have to pivot to throw to third.
