Mickey Cochrane is considered, by many, to be the greatest catcher in major league baseball history. He led the Philadelphia Athletics to three pennants and two World Championships (1929-1931). As the player-manager of the Detroit Tigers, Cochrane led the team to two pennants (1934, 1935) and a World Championship (1935). A very tough competitor, he hit a .320 during his Hall of Fame career.

This was a catcher's mask he used early in his career.
