[Hebrews 11:6]

From ESPN: "Simmons has benefited from modern metrics such as a Baseball Reference WAR of 50.3. Eight other players who were primarily catchers topped 50, and they are all in the Hall: Johnny Bench, Yogi Berra, Gary Carter, Bill Dickey, Carlton Fisk, Gabby Hartnett, Mike Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez."

Other positions typically require 60-65+ WAR for HOF entry, but catchers don't accumulate enough at-bats for comparable careers.
