It's so hard to summarize this guys amazing, yet tragic career. Roy Campanella was one of the best defensive catchers in history. He threw out a record 57% of runners trying to steal a base on him and in each of his three MVP seasons he batted over .300 with more than 30 homers and more than 100 RBIs. His brilliant career was cut short by an automobile accident that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
