Johnny Bench turns 73 today. In 1966, when Bench was 18, his team (the Peninsula Grays in the Carolina League) gave Satchel Paige, then 59, his last 1-day turn on the mound (Bench did not catch him).

Ugh show-off. But Johnny Bench is THE MAN. I read a book about him when I was very young...talked about how he survived a bus crash.
