Why anyone would want to pay cash for the autograph of a clown who stands at the plate against the A's in a World Series and allows the pitcher to strike him out looking on a phony intentional pitch is beyond me. Talented hell yeah, dumbass motherfucker, definitely!

@TheJer1963 I don't know what the original Seaver comment was but I can tell you I met Seaver back in 79 while we were both leaving a Broadway show. He was "trapped" next to me in the slowly departing crowd for at least 6 minutes and despite my fawning, insisted upon redirecting this young high graduate about my life and career aspirations. As a Yankee fan, I'd hated Seaver but after that, how could you not respect the guy? To me, a real class act in a moment that offers proof of what class is!

@88eldiablo88 Tom Seaver has to be the biggest but you are right about Bench. Met him several times and the guy is never in a good mood.

Bench appears to be nice in this video (talking to the kids and ect). I guess to see this compared to meeting him in person is another story. Everyone can have a bad day I suppose.

i think johhny Bench should take all of his money and buy himself some manners
I grew up a huge JB fan. He was my idol. Back in 1975 the Reds were at Wrigley Field & I was trying to get his autograph along with a bunch of other kids. I was at the time bigger than my fried Tom, I was 15 he was 16. I was leaning over him with a ball for him to sign when he yelled at me and cussed me out telling me to get off the DAMN kid. I was truely crushed......Jerk

Sounds like a Dream gone wrong. Got to look at it as he is human and maybe he made a mistake yelling at you? He was very friendly the day of the video. Hope you got a new Idol?
