"Bennie Daniels: This tall, well-built righthanded pitcher, who worked for both the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Washington Senators between 1957 and 1965, today lives in Compton, California. He is working at the new Martin Luther King, Jr., County General Hospital in Los Angeles as a Community Program Specialist. Bennie's job brings him in contact with the youth of the community. He also works with the L.A. Park and Recreation District in teaching baseball fundamentals to Little Leaguers. Bennie has two special memories that highlight his career. The first is that he pitched the last game in Ebbets Field in 1957 against the then Brooklyn Dodgers. He and the Pirates lost it, 2-0. His second big league memory is the opening game of the 1962 season which he pitched and won, 4-1, over the Detroit Tigers. The thing that makes this game stand out in his memory is that the late President Kennedy was there." - Baseball Digest (July 1971, 'WHAT EVER BECAME OF _______?', Page 83)
