Remembering Ed Bailey
Ed Bailey, who died Friday, made his name in Cincinnati, but near the tail end of his career, he spent 4 seasons by the Bay, being named to the All-Star team twice. He platooned with Tom Haller on the '62 squad, and went 1-14 with a home run in that year's Series. He was a fairly potent slugger, knocking 51 balls out of the park between '61 and '63. His career was cut short by Tom Haller's taking his job, but for some years, he was among the elite catchers of the National League.

Ed bailey was obviously one of the greatest catchers of all time and i hate to see him pass away.
Whoa, I never said that. All I said was that he was one of the better catchers in the NL for some time.
Ed Bailey was my favorite player. I even became a high catcher because of him. He is very underrated. he deserves more attention in baseball book. His passing is another loss of a great player from baseball's golden era.
