Barry Foote hit sixteen home runs as the Cubs everyday catcher in 1979. Other catchers might have been better offensively and defensively, but no other National League catcher in 1979 had a mustache nearly as bushy as Barry Foote's. While it's true manager Herman Franks called Barry a "whiner" on the day Franks resigned in 1979, it's also true that you could almost hear the mustache-jealousy in his voice.

Foote turned 56 years old this week.
