re: Whoever started coaching catchers on 1 knee

The first catcher I remember doing this was either Benito Santiago or Sandy Alomar with the Padres back in the day. They sort of got away with it because they could throw runners out from that slouching position. 
I’m sure it’s easier on the knees but clearly limits the ability to block wild pitches and/or throw runners out.

They used to do that with no runners on base. Once a batter reached first base, they got off their knee.

Benito Santiago once threw me out and I was on the couch watching the game on tv.
