    What a great man Johnny is. And what a life! He's seen and done it all. A finer gentleman and human being you can't find.

    Bench is the best baseball interview. I could listen to him for days.

    Love JB. Was there on JB night in 1983 when he hit the homerun on the Astros. My sister was dying of leukemia and JB sent a picture, letter, and called her in the hospital about 2 weeks before she passed. Made her day. Thank you Johnny.

    The best interviewee in baseball history. Mr. Bench was the best ever.

    Johnny Bench was my hero growing up in the 70's. My life would be signicantly worse had Mr. Bench not existed.

    Wow! What a great interview! Johnny Bench was my idle also growing up. I played catcher in HS and of course wore #5. I also loved the Big Red Machine of the 70’s. I cried during both the Orioles and the A’s series! Was such a big part of my childhood. Loved it! ❤️👍

    We were so blessed to grow up with JB and the rest of the Reds. I was all of 16 when they beat Boston.

      I had just turned 5, but I grew up in Southern Ohio. We went to so many Reds games.

    Russo saying at 9:35 that Seaver and Bench former the best battery he ever saw reminded me that they won consecutive Rookie Of The Year awards, Seaver in 67' and Bench in '68.

    I saw plenty of Bench...Brook's vacuum cleaner in 1970, losing the mustache gang in '72, edging the Red Sox and "El Tiante" in '75 and spanking the Yankees in '76. The discussion of who was better Fisk, Muncie or Bench.....Great baseball.

      It always seemed so weird that the Braves and Reds were in the NL West, but when they did the realignment it's never felt the same.

    Love to hear Johnny at 3:44 saying Elrod Hendricks was a favorite, I was always rooting for Ellie since my first season following my Santurce Cangrejeros 🇵🇷 and as an Orioles fan. ⚾

    Bench is the greatest catcher of all time. Led the National League in HR and RBI twice. Ten consecutive Gold Gloves. Near unanimous first ballot Hall Of Fame. Voted to all century team. League MVP. Rookie of the year. World Series MVP. What else is there to say.

    At 3:05 Johnny was a little confused, the Orioles didn't have Pat Dobson in 1970, he arrived the following year.

    My favorite catcher didn't see Dickey, Berra Campanella, but watch Bench at 19 yrs of age can hold 6 or 7:baseballs in his hand 🧐

  • @dannysullivan8929
    @dannysullivan8929 2 месяца назад

    Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher of all time but he has a TERRIBLE memory. Not only did Tom Seaver NOT give up two runs, like Bench says, in his debut as a Cincinnati Red at Olympic stadium versus the Expos, he didn't even allow ANYBODY to reach second base. He was absolutely dominant, pitching a complete game, 3-hit shutout with no walks. THE DATE WAS JUNE 18TH, 1977. And Russo's memory is no better. Johnny Bench did NOT catch Tom Seaver's no hitter, Don Werner did. Come on guys. A little more accuracy in your storytelling, please.

    That's not exactly what Seaver said to Bench. "What?" "Get out of here A--hole" is more like it.
