Probably the greatest tribute paid Bill Dickey is the saying - "As Dickey goes, so go the Yankees." And the Yankees have gone pretty well. There isn't a catcher in baseball today who can match Dickey's record. After eleven full seasons as top man behind the Yankee plate, Dickey boasts a .320 batting average he hit under .300 only once in 11 years. There isn't a more dangerous man in a pinch than Dickey. For the last four years he has batted across 100 or more runs, and in five World Series with the Yanks, brought in 19 tallies, five of them in the last classic. He has caught 100 or more games for 11 successive years, a feat equalling the major league record.
