Michael Scott Matheny Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Michael Scott Matheny (born September 22, 1970) is an American former professional baseball catcher and the current manager of the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB). A product of the University of Michigan, the Milwaukee Brewers selected Matheny in the eighth round of the 1991 MLB Draft. He played for four different teams during his thirteen-year playing career.Though not a prodigious hitter, he was considered one of the best defensive catchers of his era, winning four National League Rawlings Gold Glove Awards. Matheny is one of only three Major League catchers to catch at least 100 games in a single season without committing an error. He also set a San Francisco Giants team record for catcher's fielding percentage in a season at .999 in 2005.However, after receiving a pitch to his face early in his MLB player career and a series of foul balls off his mask, Matheny retired due to persisting concussion symptoms. During each of his first two years as Cardinals manager – also the first two years of his managerial career – he has guided his teams to the National League Championship Series, the final playoff round before MLB's World Series.
