Bench was pretty darned good. I bet he would have made the HOF had he been on almost any team.

Who was knockin ‘em Pete? JOHNNY.

What’s more, Johnny Bench could have knocked anybody in.

Bench probably could have knocked me in and I was never a fast runner ever.

When the coach said “lineman take a lap!” I was dead last every time. I ran a 5k once and I came in second to last, the guy I beat was like 80 years old.

Pete come down off of your cloud and back on to terra firma for the oxygen levels are more suited to you. In fact, the closer you are to sea level is probably better yet.

Johnny Bench is one of the greatest catchers of all time. Rose’s bitterness doesn’t reflect on Bench whatsoever.

My father used to think so, too, but loved to tell me this story, which I’ve just now seen for the first time. :-)

I had a secretary that 'dated' Bench when he was in the 'burgh, and said he had 'YUGE' hands:)
