Happy Birthday to the legendary John Wathan, a catcher with legs faster than a speeding base-stealer! Who else behind the plate could swipe an incredible 36 bases back in '82? They say catchers are slow, but clearly they never saw "Duke" Wathan sprinting down those baselines at Royals Stadium!Even decades later, your remarkable achievements continue to amaze fans. May your day be as swift and joyful as you rounding second toward yet another stolen base. Here's wishing you plenty more years of laughing at all the young catchers who still can't match your wheels!
Happy Birthday, Duke—keep running strong!
