LOVE Johnny Bench. I've never seen such a rocket arm. He would show off on occasion by by throwing the warm up pitch to 2nd base from the crouch.

Agree with Joe Morgan. All around fantastic, in an era when middle infielders weren't "expected" to be great at the plate.

I know it rankles some people, but I wish I could have seen some inter-league play when I was a kid. Growing up in a NL town, I only knew of AL players during the playoffs/WS. Otherwise they were faces on a baseball card.
