Benzinger and O'Neil Fan

I have always liked them---I went to the same school with Todd Benzinger in New Richmond, Ohio---his dad taught  at New Richmond Middle School

I thought it was really cool when Todd got the world series ball  WOW!

I have an autographed baseball with serveral of the reds--like benzinger, o'neil,reed etc. about 15 names on it ----I have had since late 80's

I am considering to sell the ball

just the Reds organization from 1897-1899

I guess he missed 1898 with Tommy John Surgery.

I think McCain saw him pitch a few times.
