Great read. As a catcher in my youth ('til the bases moved to 90' and my 4'4" frame could barely throw to 2nd base) Johnny was my catching idol in MLB. (Apologies to fellow Card fans and Ted Simmons.) He seemed like a great guy when you'd read about him and listen to interviews; seemed to carry himself well. This is a wonderful act by a true friend, and another wonderful act by Johnny, ultimately making sure the goods go where they deserve to be for eternity.

Nice story. I wonder what the story is with the 2 young boys he has become father to. Is he raising his grandsons maybe, or married a younger woman?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

from Wikipedia...
"His fourth marriage took place in 2004, to 31-year-old Lauren Baiocchi, the daughter of pro golfer Hugh Baiocchi. After living in Palm Springs with their two sons, Justin (born 2006) and Josh (born 2010)."

So they're actually his sons. The odd wording threw me. Thanks.

I have been wondering the same thing, there doesn't seem to be a woman in what we have at least visually seen, the boys seem pretty young. I'm biased for sure, Bench was the guy that impressed me from when i first discovered baseball.

I had the honor to meet him at a celebrity golf tournament about 10 years ago on base at Camp Lejeune. I didn't have a card of him at that time, so I had him sign a blank hologram card. Oh well.....
I used to love to watch him on The Baseball Bunch. That was a great show for me when growing up.
