[ed. note - “First of a two-part series on former MLB catcher.”]

WASHINGTON – When Michael Barrett made his Major League debut in 1998 as a third baseman, the person batting directly behind him in the lineup for the Montreal Expos was catcher Bob Henley.

Later, in 2001, Barrett, Sandy Martinez, and Randy Knorr were teammates on the Expos and then Barrett, a native of Atlanta who also was a catcher, was on the same team from 2005-07 with Henry Blanco on the Chicago Cubs.
