Battey was generally regarded as one of the best catchers in the American league from 1960-1966. He was a great defensive player and a consistent hitter.

1961 Earl Battey, MIN, Bats-R, 3R Balance, C-1(-3)e2, 2 INJ Rating, 15 Game INJ Risk

Current 1965 Battey, 3.90m, MIN, Bats-R, 1L Balance, C-2(-3)e7, 2 INJ Rating, 15 Game INJ Risk
LH--13.6 2b, 0.8 3b, 1.5 HR, 10 BB 351/417/554, .971 OPS
RH--3.5 2b, 0.2 3b, 1.3 HR, 14 BB 334/427/415, .842 OPS

61 & 63 give Battey more power, better OBP. 1963 with its low INJ Rating and Power especially vs RHP is nice.

1975 Carlton Fisk, Red Sox, C 2(-2)e7 T-11, Bats R .331 10 52 .395 .529 .923 Career high BA. Near career highs in OBP, SLG, OPS & OPS+. This is the season that Fisk hit the dramatic walk off World Series game 6 12th inning HR that he waved fair that we all watched growing up. 2 Inj rating, like most catchers. Probably a 4L or 5L. This Fisk card would provide managers with a lefty masher alternative to the other Fisk cards, which range from E to 4R.
