The Last Left Handed Catchers in MLB History

In this episode of T. Sean’s Baseball Card Theater, we dive into one of the rarest oddities in Major League Baseball history — the left-handed catcher. While most fans know that lefties almost never strap on the gear, a few brave souls actually did it. We spotlight Mike Squires, who caught a few innings in 1981 and later became the first left-handed third baseman in over 50 years, plus a Gold Glove winner at first base. We also uncover the brief catching appearances of Benny Distefano, who caught for the Pirates in 1989, and Dale Long, who appeared behind the plate for the Chicago Cubs in 1958. Long is better known for his legendary streak of eight consecutive games with a home run in 1956, later tied by Don Mattingly and Ken Griffey Jr.. Using vintage baseball cards and humor, we explore these rare left-handed catchers, baseball trivia, MLB history, and the strange positional quirks that make the game so great. #mlb #baseballcardtheater #sportsmemorabilia #toppsbaseballcards #baseballcards #chicagocubs #chicago #sportscards #baseballmemorabilia #lefthandersday #lefthandedguitarist CHAPTERS 00:00 INTRO 00:10 1979 Rookie Card Ross Baumgarten Mike Colbern 00:27 Jack Clements - 00:37 Larry Haney - Seattle Pilots - Topps 1969 00:47 Mike Squires - Left Handed Catcher 1980 00:57 1981 Gold Glove American League 1st Base 01:11 Topps - 01:24 Benny Distefano - Pittsburgh Pirates 01:35 Dale Long - Chicago Cubs 02:01 Don Mattingly and Ken Griffey Jr.
