[edit] Biographical Information

Joe Astroth was a catcher who had a ten-year American League career, all with the Athletics (first in Philadelphia and then in Kansas City). For the first few years of his major league career, he was managed by Connie Mack, who had also been a catcher in his playing days. Blessed with a very strong throwing arm, Astroth retired with one of the all-time best "Caught Stealing" percentages of 48 percent.

  • On September 23, 1950, he drove in six runs in one inning, with first a grand slam and then a single.
