Ivan Rodríguez is considered by many to be the greatest defensive catcher ever. Rodríguez was awarded the AL MVP in 1999. He won the World Series with the Florida Marlins in 2003, and again reached the World Series as the starting catcher for the 2006 Detroit Tigers. Rodriguez has caught two no-hitters for two different pitchers. The first one was in 1994 when he caught a perfect game by Kenny Rogers. The most recent one was on June 12, 2007 when he caught the no-hitter thrown by Justin Verlander. Pudge has won 13 Gold Glove Awards, and has made 14 All-Star teams. In 2008, he is expected to collect his 2,500th career hit.
