Pittsburgh plucked Bob Oldis from the Yankees minor league system late in 1959, which explains the pinstripes on his catching photo. He won a title over New York in that year's dramatic World Series, closing out two Pirate wins as their best defensive catcher and ideal late-inning replacement. Bob went on to a lengthy post-player career as coach and scout, reflecting the strategic smarts required of successful catchers.
