Johnny Bench turns 73 today. In 1966, when Bench was 18, his team (the Peninsula Grays in the Carolina League) gave Satchel Paige, then 59, his last 1-day turn on the mound (Bench did not catch him).

Well, Yogi was a monster in his prime years of 1950-56, but he hit .290/.328/.483 from 1946-49, .266/.332/.452 from 1957-65, was a poor defensive catcher in his early years, moved to the OF from 1960-on. So, combo of middling OBPs & limited defensive value outside of his prime.
