On Tuesday I put out a poll to Red Sox Nation asking them which catcher was their favorite. When making my picks for the options I tried to go with generational backstops. This led me to four simple choices: Carlton Fisk (1969-80), Rich Gedman (1980-90), Jason Varitek (1997-11), and Christian Vazquez (2014-19).
Obviously there were other catchers in the mix during those times. Tek always had Mirabelli there to back him up and to catch Wakefield. Hell, Jarrod Saltalamacchia was a big player during the 2013 World Series championship run.
