Let’s Talk About Astros Catchers For A Minute

One way to circumvent the issue of an off day during Spring Training is to look up historical baseball statistics. This is actually a personal favorite of mine to pass the time. Yesterday was no different. For example, I started thinking about Astros catchers.

If you pop over to Fangraphs and sort by Astros catchers from 1962 to 2016, you see a variety of names. The fan favorites appear like Alan Ashby, Brad Ausmus and Tony Eusebio. Then the recent not-fondly-remembered like Mitch Meluskey and J.R. Towles. You also have the catchers that younger fans, like myself, never seen play or necessarily heard about.
