Ernie Lombardi | Hall of Fame
Catcher Ernie Lombardi would appear to be the kind of tall tale scouts like to invent when they are sitting through a rain delay.
Everything about the longtime Reds star seemed larger than life. He had one of the best arms in baseball, the kind of arm that tempted scouts at times to make him a pitcher. He had hands that seemed to almost make a catcher’s mitt superfluous. He swung a 42-ounce bat that made everyone else’s bats look like a toothpick, thanks to massive wrists and forearms.

Ernie Lombardi | Society for American Baseball Research
It is one of those records that may never be equaled, much less broken. For 75 years a handful of pitchers have come close to tying Johnny Vander Meer’s record of pitching two consecutive no-hitters. But it has proven elusive for even the most elite hurlers throughout major-league history.
