A 14-time All-star and two time NL MVP, Johnny Bench was the major cog in the Big Red Machine that dominated the game in the 1970s. He was a Rookie of the Year and a two-time World Champion who led the NL in Home Runs twice and RBI three times and was awarded 10 Gold Gloves. In his rookie year, Ted Williams was so impressed that he signed a ball for Bench and predicted that he would be a "Hall of Famer for sure." Many consider Bench to be the greatest catcher in MLB history. I currently have 487 different Beckett recognized cards of Johnny. Here are nine from my collection.
