Johnny Bench is my choice, and he is the best by a good amount.

I went with Yogi. Sentimental reasons? Maybe. ...but check out his HR to stikeout ratio before you judge me. He was also noted as a great handler of pitchers with a pretty good throwing arm.

Johnny Bench by a longshot.
My 76-year-old grandfather has heard of him, and he doesn't know very much about baseball.
Then again, he did live in Toledo for awhile.

Got to be Yogu, but I would have had Joe Torre in there in the list, he may not be the best, but he is up there, if you have to ask why, check out that the guy did behind the plate (and at 1b when not catching).

Can't believe you've got Piazza up there, and not Gary Carter...WTF? Easily his equal.
