The Atlanta Braves

Former Braves catcher Biff Pocoroba has died at 66

I know there's only a few on here old enough to watch him play. Goat of names too.

Bob Watson also passed early this month. He was also on that great 1982 team
The joke was always to name all the Catchers that were on the roster at the same time as Bruce Benedict. Bruce wasn’t very good, but he lasted for 10+ years while Matt Sinatro, Larry Owen, Biff Pocaroba, Ozzie Virgil, Ted Simmons, Jody Davis, Johnny Russell, Rick Cerone and others came and went.

What a list of names. Don't forget Alex Trevino.

You're right about Bruce. Give him credit for sticking around as long as he did. Wasn't a good hitter, and don't remember him being anything special behind the plate.
