"Bill Dickey has been acclaimed as one of the greatest catchers to ever play in the American League. On defense he was superb and he could belt the long ball as well as line clutch hits."

DICKEY CHOSEN ALL-STAR CATCHER
Called Greatest Of All Time
"New York, September 26, 1936 - Tall, rangy Bill Dickey, the greatest catcher of all time, has been honored by the Baseball Writers Association. Leading the pennant winning Yankees with a .362 batting average (Bill is easily the best hitting catcher ever), he is also known for his skilled handling of pitchers and exceptional throwing arm.
Best of all, Bill is the kind of steady, dependable, excellent player who holds his team together and fights off team slumps. The Yanks are indeed lucky for this greatest catcher. Bill also holds the record for playing the most games of any catcher!"
