For as long as I have been able to understand the game of baseball, there has been only one constant on the St. Louis Cardinals. Since 2005, Yadier Molina has served as the starting catcher for the Cardinals, in what arguably is the franchise’s most successful decade of baseball.
His play, both offensively and defensively, has made him one of the best players in the game today and arguably the best catch of his generation. His eight consecutive Gold Gloves is a testament to his defensive prowess in the game. While his offensive numbers are not all-time numbers, his ability to hone his craft throughout out the years is a testament to his character.
