MadHatter Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hahaha... no! Benzinger was just one of those players I loved when I was akid. He came up through Pawtucket, which wasn't far from my house, so I saw him play a lot of games there. He was fun to watch... And stecropper... good call on J.R. Richard. He'd definitely be on my 40 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
