What kind of metal mounting bracket would you use on a wooden baseball outfield backstop?

Specifically, I’m looking for the kind that holds the plywood mounted on a 2×4 with bolts to metal post. The bracket (or whatever you call it) would wrap around the back of the metal post and secure the backstop wall with bolts of some sort. Someone in construction or fencing might know this one.

You can use Galvanized strap steel available at any hardware store. The Galvanized coating protects the steel from rusting. Aluminum would be better, although a bit more expensive, it will never rust. The coated steel will eventually rust.

This view explains why so many light-hitting catchers have enjoyed long?and by all accounts successful?major league careers. Yet arguments over the all-time greats invariably privilege offensive standouts, and even among these players batting statistics are more likely than fielding numbers to affect ranking. So what, historically, have been the expectations for major league catchers, and who stands as the greatest in a more balanced view of offensive and defensive contributions? In Part I of this book, the history of catching and catchers is discussed in detail, with attention to the most celebrated players of each era. In Part II, the author employs sabermetric formulas to rank the 50 greatest catchers since 1920, when changes to the rules, the parks, and the ball dramatically changed the way baseball was played. Also included is a chapter on catchers of the 19th century, deadball era, and Negro Leagues, whose career statistics are either incomplete, inaccurate, or produced under markedly different playing conditions and rules.
