I was thinking Pudge but didn't know if Brantly ever threw to him.
He did for a whole 21 innings.
And Pudge likely gets in
Did Rafael Palmerio catch in college? They were likely at MSU at the same time for at least a season or two. Would fit in w/ the Hall of famer, who wasn't a hall of famer.
Nevermind. I swore Brantley pitched for the Dodgers at some point...
Maybe Mike Lieberthal?

Your Mom is happy.
Benito Santiago also played on some of the same teams as Brantley. Is he a possible HOF?

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I'd say Pudge is the only possible hall of fame catcher to have ever caught Brantley.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Likely gets in? If you hear some reporters and players...he was a better defensive catcher than Bench.
I would rank Pudge as the fifth best catcher of all time after Bench, Berra, Carter and Fisk.

He was very good to great...I just would get a little upset (I guess as a Reds fan you would) that some reporters and players thought he was the best ever.
I think Fisk....even if he is annoying with his WE won the WS 3 games to 4 garbage....is underrated.
Why would you take anything Brantley ever said seriously?
The guy who didn't know what a backdoor slider was?
He's got some PED issues or else he'd be an obvious lock.
I think it was Pudge. I think that the tail end of Brantly's career would have coincided with the beginning of Pudge's career. It didn't sound like Brantly had worked much with this catcher only a few times.
As for Pudge he should get it if it weren't for those pesky PED's. That cloud will hang over him during his HOF candidacy.
I don't really see how he doesn't get in.
