SEATTLE -- Isiah Kiner-Falefa has emulated a Hall of Famer this season. There are very few examples in Major League history of a utility player being able to play both infield and catcher in the same season.
But Roger Bresnahan was able to do it 100 years ago when he was a catcher for the Orioles, Giants, Cardinals and Reds in the early part of the 20th century. Bresnahan had 974 career games at catcher but also spent 111 games at the four infield positions and 281 more in the outfield.
That's the versatility Kiner-Falefa brought to the Rangers this season.
