John Wathan

    John Wathan was a catcher, first baseman, and outfielder in the Major Leagues from 1976 through 1985. In 1983, he stole 36 bases for the Kansas City Royals, which is the MLB record for any catcher since 1901. A solid player who also earned MVP votes in 1980, Wathan is unfortunately seldom remembered today. 
    I got this on Tuesday at Gingerbread Antiques in Waxahachie:
