#359 Don Pavletich
Pronounce pav-LET-ic....A Milwaukee native, reserve
backstop by trade, sounds a bit one Bob Uecker....acquired for 1972 to help out his
hometown team... except he didn’t play in Brewcity.....Cincinnati debut in 50’s
resulted in only one at bat....started
getting MLB time 1962......In his prime Don was one of the better reserves
catchers in the NL....put together .300 BA over two seasons backing up Johnny
Edwards 1965-66 as a member of the Reds...rest of his time was more
inconsistent....barely played during his two year in Red Sox uniform circa 1970-71....given
his career, it would have interesting if he ever would have been given a regular working schedule.

Learned something today. I always thought his name was pronounced PAVEL-titch. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteThe interesting for me with Don is that it appears he lives a few miles away from me in Brookfield Wi.
