Charlie Bennett with David Metter

Jim is joined by David Metter (@CooperstownDave) to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB catcher Charlie Bennett. First, Dave and Jim talk about what playing catcher was like in the 19th Century (8:13). Next, they cover the 1887 World Series, compare Bennett to HOFer Gary Carter, and discuss the 1936 Cooperstown ballot (19:46). Finally, Dave and Jim build Defensive Catcher Mount Rushmore (58:28), before making a final call on whether or not Bennett deserves to be enshrined into Cooperstown (1:06:38).
