What Yadier Molina is doing is absurd and amazing

Yadier Molina recently turned 36-years-old. He has had to kneel down and catch baseballs thrown to him by pitchers who throw harder than any time in baseball history for over 15,108 innings. It places him 7th all-time. If Molina plays for only the two remaining years of his contract at an average of 120 games, plus finishes this season with 32 games played, he will finish his career 3rd all-time in innings caught, only behind Bob Boone and Ivan Rodriguez. Boone retired after his age-42 season and the man known as Pudge played his last season as a 39-year-old.
