Major League Baseball Player. He played fourteen seasons primarily as a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins. He made his Major League debut with a two-game stint for the Phillies in 1983, but didn't make the team permanently until 1985. From 1985 to 1988 he served as a back-up catcher behind Ozzie Virgil and Lance Parrish before winning the starting job for good beginning with the 1989 season. He became a team leader, and was considered one of the best backstops during his prime years. His offense and leadership became the backbone for the Phillies 1993 National League Pennant drive, which culminated in their defeat of the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series. He batted .214 in the subsequent World Series, hitting a home run and knocking in four RBIs as the Toronto Blues Jays defeated the Phillies in six games. He continued to be the Phillies starting catcher through 1995, but missed all but five games in 1996 due to a knee injury. He returned to the Phillies in 1997, but the emergence of future All-Star Mike Lieberthal at the catcher position made him expendable. He was traded to the Florida Marlins in July 1997, and helped that team make it to the World Series, where he batted .389 with a home run and two RBIs. After the Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games, he announced his retirement. In his post-playing days he appeared on Philadelphia sports talk shows and became a fan favorite. He made three All-Star game appearances (1992, 1993, 1995) and led the National League in RBIs in 1992 with 109 (being only the 5th catcher to do so). He finished with career totals of 1,161 games played, 891 hits, 137 home runs, 588 RBIs and a .245 batting average. He battled brain cancer for four years before losing his life in 2017.
