You know the drill. I'll say a word or two, you come up with the name.
At times, there can be more than one correct answer.
Some easy, some obscure.......

1. Plane
2. Car
3. Hair
4. Long Hair Switchie
5. New York Switchie
6. Boston Switchie
7. Detroit Switchie
8. Pudge
9. Pudge Too
10. Spy
11. 8
12. 8 Too
13. Gibson
14. Sparky
15. Caught many balls; And almost one bat
16. Jo-Dee! Jo-Dee...
17. Manny Being Manny
18. Sciosia Fav
19. Throat
20. Marichal

I think this is easier than others, so a couple of extra credits....

Extra Credit One: He should be in the Hall. My favorite underrated catcher....

Extra Credit Two: I hit .297 and I hit 297 homers. Three more of each and I'd of been pretty good!"

1-Munson
2-Campanella
8-Fisk
9-I Rodriguez
11-Dickey
12-Berra
14-Bench
16-Davis
19-Yeagar
20-Roseboro

Extra 1- Simmons

Good list. Some great catchers

Right on all except for the extra credit.....
Hint: Simmons is the answer to another....

I guess Simmons could be #4. The extra credit question is MY exact wording for Simmons

4 is right, and I agree with you about underrated. One of the very best....ever.

5. Todd Hundley
13. Tim McCarver

18. Jeff Mathis

7. Victor Martinez

17. Manny Sanguillen

6- Varitek
15- Piazza

and 5 could be Posada if Hundley wasn't what you were going for. Though for obvious reasons, Hundley would be my choice.

I'm also going to go with Napoli for 18 hoping you are going for the sarcasm factor.

Posada, Varitek, and Piazza are all CORRECT.
I would have accepted either Mathis or Napoli for Sciosia.

Left are....

This is funny, I was kicking myself for leaving 'Kid' off the list.
Nope, not Carter.

I'm up watching some tv. Can't think of an answer for number 3. And then.....there it was right before my eyes

Mauer

BINGO!

#10 is left.

Hint on number one extra credit- He had a great career during the 60's and 70's.

Hint on number two- Go back in the 'Way back machine'.
A Hall of Famer with a nickname that would be thought of as not politically correct today probably.

10 Moe Berg

EC number 1 Smokey Burgess?
