Famous Faces – Johnny Bench

if you are a baseball fan, like we all are, then this famous face needs no introduction…  Hall of Famer Johnny Bench!

According to JohnnyBench.com,

Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in January 1989, Bench is undoubtedly the greatest catcher ever as stated by the Sporting News in late 1998, in which Johnny was named the 16th greatest player of all time – His successes include National League Rookie of the Year (1968), National League Most Valuable Players (1970 & 1972), World Series MVP (1976), 14-time All-Star, and 10 Gold Gloves. In 1980, Bench set an endurance record by catching 100 or more games for 13 consecutive seasons. Then, in 1999 Johnny received baseball’s esteemed honor of selection to the All Century Tearn on October 24.

When Soundwave took part in the National Sailfish Competition in Key West, FL, we had no idea that we would be able to meet Johnny, and it was a pleasure, privilege, and honor!
