"In Part I the history of catching and catchers is discussed. Part II, the author employs sabermetric formulas to rank the 50 greatest catchers since 1920. Also included is a chapter on catchers of the 19th century, deadball era, and Negro Leagues, whose career statistics are either incomplete, inaccurate, or produced under different playing conditions and rules"--Provided by publisher.
