Who had the better, all around career as catcher?

[stevenash]

We are crossing eras here, so this might be fun.

Johnny Bench?
or
Yogi Berra?

[lakerboy]

Bench hands down. Berra is just a product of yankee hype machine.

[stevenash]

Bench's WAR (Win Above Replacement) the stat I go to when you cross eras is much better than Yogi

[JamesBrown]

Neither could come close to Benito Santiago! But I'd vote Bench.

[Brock Landers]

Bench, come on LOL

Go with the three time MVP and 18 time all star

Anyone can win rings if around the right team. Bench wins and its not even close.

[Chi_archie]

Bench did have the gold gloves...

but from 1950-1956 look at Yogi's MVP run...never got less than 4th and won 3 times!

at their peak peak though. I might take Roy Campanella over both of them

Piazza pal. Not even close.

Piazza pal. Not even close.

Poor defensive catcher, called a decent game though, underrated game caller, but poor defensive skills, but man, he could rake.

Piazza pal. Not even close.
