Player Biography
A strong and durable receiver for the St. Louis Browns, Boston Red Sox and Washington Senators, Rick Ferrell set an American League record for games caught (1,806) that lasted more than 40 years. Ferrell had a special knack for handling the knuckler – the out-pitch of four Senators starters. The reliable backstop hit .281 lifetime, and better than .300 six times during an 18-year career. Connie Mack’s respect for the North Carolina farm boy was so great that Ferrell caught all nine innings of the first All-Star Game in 1933. Ferrell was ultimately named to eight All-Star teams.
