This week we take a look at another catcher from the late 1960s to the late 1970s. Ken Rudolph is our guest. Ken played in the Majors from 1969-1977 with the Cubs, Giants, Cardinals and Orioles. In this era of baseball, the backup catcher was vitally important. Ken talks about what it was like to play sparingly, keep in shape not only defensively, but also at the plate with the bat. He also talks about some of the managers he played for Back When There Was Baseball, which includes Leo Durocher.
