Pudge joins, Jorge Posada and Jason Varitek as the 3 of the top catchers of their era all retiring at the same time.

I predict all three of these men will soon be managers.

I was surprised to see I-Rod didn't have a job this year. I know he's older than dust (no disrespect) but I assumed some team would give him a spot on the roster, even if just for a backup and to mentor some young catcher.

I think the Royals invited him to play.

One of my all-time favs. Thanks for the memories, Pudge.

Always been a fan of the guy. A top ten catcher for sure.

Ditto to that.
