2 unusual facts about Tom Pagnozzi


Tom Pagnozzi

While he had moderate power and was considered an RBI threat, he was primarily regarded for his defense, for which he won Gold Gloves in 1991, 1992, and 1994.

Initially a backup catcher and utility player for the Cardinals, in 1990 Pagnozzi impressed Cardinals manager Joe Torre enough to move Todd Zeile, then the Cardinals' hot catching prospect, to third base to make room for him.
