Chris Cannizzaro was a catcher for the Mets from 1962-1965. One of my favorite players, he could never hit but boy could he catch. He never made more than $13,000 a year and his signing bonus was $2200. It was a hard life but his life along with the life of other players from that era paved the way for many of the players today. What a difference, the current league minimum is $600,000. I don't think Cannizzaro made that in his lifetime.
So who is the unsung hero during this current Met surge. Listen in and find out.
