Aaron Robinson
31 year old catcher Aaron Robinson batted seventh for the Yankees. Left handed batter slugged .506 in what was probably his career year. Took over the starting role when the previous incumbent Bill Dickey was appointed field manager in May. His home run total of 16 was 10th highest in the League, two of which were hit in successive innings of Bob Feller, including a Grand Slam! His .297 batting average also led all regulars and there is a strong case to be made that he was the most effective catcher in the League.
