What part of the 1980's do you mean? The 1980 World Series team had Bob Boone as their starter. There were a lot of other guys after him. His back up was Tim McCarver. Later in the decade guys like Lance Parish caught for them.
Ten years is a long time in sports, narrowing down your query would be helpful.
I'll add that Bo Diaz was the catcher in 1982 and 83, and Ozzie Virgil was the catcher in 84. Lance Parrish came in 87. So yes, I agree that this is too broad of a question.
