BENCH, JOHNNY LEE (1947-). Johnny Bench had a remarkable baseball career that can be measured by the opening line on his hall-of-fame plaque, "Johnny Bench redefined standards by which catchers are measured during his seventeen seasons with 'Big Red machine'." Bench, born on December 7, 1947, in Oklahoma City, grew up in Binger, Oklahoma. He excelled in athletics, achieving All-State honors in basketball and baseball for Binger High School. Idolizing another Oklahoma baseball legend, Mickey Mantle, Bench would later receive the same admiration from a new generation of Oklahoma baseball fans. In 1965 the Cincinnati Reds drafted Bench, and at spring training Ted Williams autographed his baseball, "to a hall-of-famer for sure." In 1968, proving Williams prophetic, Bench became the first catcher to win the National League Rookie of the Year award. Playing his entire career with the Cincinnati Reds, Bench batted .267 and belted 389 home runs. The Reds, dubbed the "Big Red Machine" in the 1970s, won two World Series, four National League pennants, and six divisional titles. Bench made the NL All-Star team fourteen times, led the league in runs batted in three times, and received the Most Valuable Player award twice. In 1970 Bench was the youngest player ever named MVP. Bench had exceptional defensive skills also. He won ten straight gold gloves and was one of the best at throwing out base-stealers. He became the first catcher to wear a protective helmet in the field, and he caught with one hand behind his back to protect it from foul tips. In the 1976 world series Bench hit .533, had two home runs, drove in six runs, and threw out the only attempted base-stealer to win the series MVP. In 1989, the first year he was eligible, the Baseball Writers Association of America voted Johnny Bench into the Baseball Hall of Fame. After baseball Bench started a broadcast career, among other projects.

ESPN Network: ESPN.com NBA.com NHL.com WNBA.com ... Other sports ALSO SEE Bench marks Johnny Bench's career statistics Baseball's greatest catcher By Nick Acocella Special to ESPN.com "I remember I said to Red Smith, 'I've seen Campy and Berra, this fellow's better than that. And Red said to me, 'I've seen Dickey and Mickey Cochrane, and this fellow is better than them also. Ergo, Johnny Bench is the best catcher who ever lived," says writer Roger Kahn on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. Often cited as the best catcher in baseball history, Johnny Bench helped lead the Reds to two World Series titles. Johnny Bench was a vital cog as the Cincinnati Reds won six division titles, four pennants and two World Series in the 1970s. Although more attention was paid to his power hitting, just as significant is that he won 10 Gold Gloves in his first 10 full seasons. Selected for 14 All-Star teams, Bench was a lifetime .267 hitter with 389 homers as he set a major league record for home runs by a catcher with 327. (Carlton Fisk and Mike Piazza have since passed this mark.) He is the only catcher to ever lead his league in total bases, when he accumulated 315 in 1974. The righthanded-hitting slugger topped the National League in homers twice, with a career-high 45 in 1970 and 40 in 1972, winning the MVP award both years. He led the league in runs batted in three times (with 148 in 1970, 125 in 1972 and 129 in 1974).

Home Accomplishments Appearances Bench "Marks" Biography Scholarship Fund Product Categories All Century Team Autographs Baseballs Bats ... Cinergy Field - NEW Crosley Field - NEW Links of Interest Site Designed Ted Williams has signed many autographs but none as prescient as one penned in spring training in 1969: "To Johnny Bench, a sure Hall of Famer." Johnny was named to the NL All-Star team fourteen times, played in every game from 1968 to 1975, and hit .409 with 3 home runs. He set a major league record for home runs by a catcher (327 plus 62 playing elsewhere), later broken by Carlton Fisk; won two home run crowns; led the league in RBI three times; and was chosen MVP twice. While Johnny is remembered most for his offense, he may have had his greatest impact behind the bat. He was the first receiver to use a protective helmet in the field, popularized catching onehanded, kept his throwing hand behind his back to protect it from foul tips, and said his father "taught me to throw 254 feet-twice the distance to second base-from a crouch." Not known for keeping his counsel, Johnny once said flatly, "I can throw out any runner alive," and brashly predicted that he would be the first catcher to be named Rookie of the Year. He did just that in 1968, caught 154 games, a rookie record, and won the first of ten straight Gold Gloves. Johnny hit 45 homers and was chosen MVP for the first time in 1970, the year Bob Hunter, a Los Angeles sportswriter, first called Cincinnati "the Big Red Machine."

They started with the top 40, and voted on their Tiers 40 at a time until they had 29 left at the bottom. Now that we will be adding Eddie Murray and Gary Carter, I figure it's time to revise the list with the throngs of new posters here. I also declined making lists last time as I felt I wasn't knowledgeable enough to have an opinion. I'm looking forward to doing it now ;) .

The third of four children of Ted and Katy Bench, he was All-State in basketball and baseball at Binger High School and the Valedictorian of his graduating class. Johnny's childhood dream was to become a major league baseball player and his father counseled that the position of catcher was the most direct route to that goal. Taking that advice, he was selected in the 1965 amateur draft by the Cincinnati Reds and signed with them. After two seasons in the minors, Bench made Cincinnati's Major League roster for the 1968 season. This marked the beginning of one of the most successful careers in baseball history and to Johnny's ascension as a celebrity. He maintains a sense of balance by using his celebrity status to aid worthy causes, such as the Heart Association, the American Cancer Society (as National Chairman of "Athletes vs. Cancer"), the Kidney Foundation, Franciscan Sisters of the Poor Health System and Muscular Dystrophy. He also supports the Cincinnati Symphony, the Museum of Science and Industry, and his own Johnny Bench Scholarship Fund, which grants financial aid to Greater Cincinnati-area college students.
