Tim Brown’s The Tao of the Backup Catcher: Playing Baseball for the Love of the Game tells the stories of players who never were #1 catchers but always the backup, playing irregularly but always needing to be ready and available, and calling the entire game on the days when they were called on. This book is for those of us who love catchers, for anyone who felt necessary but not fully appreciated in their work, for anyone who experienced always feeling good enough until they weren’t, for anyone who always felt certain of their talent or ability but never fully recognized—and yet kept going for love of the game, whatever that game was.
