Congrats Yadier on an amazing career!!! From being a 10x All Star, 2x Ws Champion, 9x Gold Glove award winner, over 2,000 games played by a catcher, 4th most games played by a catcher and 19 wonderful MLB seasons. Enjoy retirement my friend!!! You’ve earned it!!!
Albert Pujols got me into baseball and Yadi got me to stay. Yadi has been my favorite player for almost 20 years and got to watch him every summer. It's going to surreal to see someone else behind the plate next season. I'm going to do my part and enjoy and cheer the hell out of StL Cards this season. Go Yadi. Go Pujols. Go Waino.
I can't believe you spent so much time on Yadi's hitting and not on his controlling the game from behind home plate, the speed at which he has thrown base stealers out, his knowing his pitchers weakness, and strengths, his ability to soak up physical punishment, and keep playing.
