Catching up...
Former major-league catcher Gus Triandos passed away on March 28th, 2013 at age 82.
Triandos' career spanned 1953-65. He is probably best known as the Orioles' regular catcher from 1955-62 (although he played a lot at 1st base in '55 and '56).
After a year with the Tigers, Gus was traded to the Phillies before the 1964 season, along with pitcher Jim Bunning. He finished up with the Astros in 1965.
