We are privileged to host one of the best catchers in MLB during the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. Jim Sundberg joins us to talk about his career. He came out of the University of Iowa and was told by a scout that he was not very good. That "insult" propelled Jim to become the best catcher he could be, and what a successful adventure that was. Jim played 16 seasons in the Majors (1974-1989) with the Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs. He won 6 consecutive Gold Gloves (1976-1981) which is unreal considering he caught in the heat of Texas during those seasons. Jim is also famous for his great slide in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. We hope you enjoy this look Back When There Was Baseball at one of the best catchers in that time-period, Jim Sundberg.
