I went with Berra, but Bill Dickey's not far off. This has really been an outstanding position for the Yankees - Berra and Dickey are among the greatest catchers of any era, and Posada, Munson, and Howard were all among the best catchers of their generations - and all played essentially their entire careers for the Yankees (even if a couple ended with other teams).

i would normally laugh at such a question, but because the other candidates are/were so good, i have to restrain myself. Did Yogi say: "It ain't a question if there is only one answer" (LOL, just kidding).

I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question. - Yogi Berra
Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world where they can be alone
Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?

What a rich history this team has at Backstop! I wouldn't mind having any of them.
But having to choose just one, Larry Berra gets the nod.
