[edit] catcher, weak batsman

Maybe there should be an article or section --say, Catcher#the_early_role-- explaining some aspects of the job once, for many cross-references to phrases such as "He was a catcher at a time when ...". Something similar may be useful for the bare-hand days and earliest glove use at every fielding position.

There will be lots of repetition across biographies in any case (when there are lots of biographies) but some good non-biographical articles might yet have a big impact. --P64 23:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
