Summary provided by the Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011.
The only catcher to wear #21 while Ruth was with the Yankees was coach Johnny Schulte in 1934. His final season as a catcher in the majors had been a total of 25 games with the Browns and Braves in 1932. He was not on the Yankees active roster, but his name/uniform number do appear on Yankees scorecards from that season (Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011).
