Autograph Of The Week: Johnny Bench

On July 15, 1980, Johnny Bench hit another home run and the Big Red Machine rolled to another victory. David Palmer of the Expos served up the pitch and the Reds won 12-7.

The home run hit that historic day was the 314th of Bench's career while playing as a catcher. He had 33 other long balls at other positions, but this one was especially significant because Yogi Berra had held the record for most home runs hit by a catcher with 313!
