He seems quite limber with all that catcher's gear on.

Did you scan this yourself?

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

This is a picture I took from an old Chicago Tribune actually. He looks awfully spry-three feet off the ground maybe?-just completely different from my image of him as an aging announcer with catchers knees. Of course, he was just shy of 23 at the time.

Limber

I’m looking, and McCarver also hit 13 triples! in 1966 to lead the N.L., maybe taking advantage of liners off the new artificial turf at Busch to do that.

Only 20th-century NL catcher to do it

I was reading about how countless species are being pushed toward extinction by man's destruction of forests. Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. - Calvin, Scientific Progress Goes "Boink", Watterson
