The common term is "battery."  However, this has nothing to do with the batter or batter's box.  Nor anything else to do with baseball.  It is simply the common term for multiple items used together for a common end, i.e., a "battery of tests."  \n\nNote, also, that the concept of a single-cell being called a battery is relatively modern.  Many, if not most batteries were a collection of multiple cells, like the batteries still used in cars.  And even current devices usually require a battery of individual cells to operate.

Otsuka. \n\nI had both of them on my roster and Putz didn't get many save opportunities. He converted them when he did, but Seattle isn't winning many games. Also, Hargrove is leaning towards reinstalling Easy Eddie Guardado back into the closers role and have Putz be his 8th inning man.

Wow, that is a goood question, I am a bit prejudiced towrds the Yankees, but I think historically this still valid. The best catchers of my youth are Bench, Fisk or Munson.\n1.Mickey Cochrane \n2.Johnny Bench\n3.Yogi Berra \n4.Josh Gibson\n5.Carlton Fisk\n6.Ivan Rodriguez\n7.Roy Campanella\n8.Elston Howard\n8a.Thurman Munson\n9. Mike Piazza\n10. Bill Dickey\nSorry if it seems like their are alot of Yankees, but that is the way I see it.\n\nHey Disgraced, it was Jackie Robinson, not Hank Aaron.\n\nIn retrospect I think Gibson could be #1 but he was not allowed to play at the same time as many of  his contemporaries, by far he is the best hitter of the bunch.

Reggie Jackson\n\nAlso quoted as saying:\n\n"Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's how you feel when Nolan Ryan's throwing balls by you."

Well, right now there are 66 pitchers in baseball with a 100% winning %. Over the course of history I'm guessing there have been thousands and thousands who have duplicated the feat. And I'm not about to list them all. \n\nPedro Martinez and Greg Maddux are both 5-0, Brandon Webb, Bronson Arroyo, Wandy Rodriguez, Jose Contreas, and Oscar Villareal are all 4-0.
