Johnny Bench, still the best catcher I have ever seen.

Gary Carter had the velocity throwing to second but he couldn't control it and ended up throwing the ball into center field.

Otto Velez is the player and it maybe aging myself but remembering him hitting 4 home runs during a double header that I attended which cause a young kid to become a fan of that player .

 

[Dawgger]

Dizzy Dean, actually I liked him as a broadcaster don't really remember him as a player. if the game was slow ole Diz did a rendition of Wabash Cannonball.
He was paired with Pee Wee Reese. Lot of knowledge and a lot of fun.
