Detroit Tigers fans and MLB fans may remember the name Ivan Rodriguez.
A Member of the Hall of Fame class of 2017, MVP, 14-time All-Star, seven-time Silver Slugger and the last catcher to suit up for the Detroit Tigers that fans could get excited about.
Oh, and let’s not forget emotional, tear-jerking video of Pudge crying when he received the Hall of Fame call.
Don’t get me wrong, the Tigers have had some good catchers on the roster, all of whom have contributed to Detroit’s recent playoff runs and World Series teams (Rodriguez in 2006 and Laird and Avila in 2012).
