Johnny Bench visits Reds Hall of Fame and Museum

National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great Johnny Bench visited the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday and talked about playing at Crosley Field.

Bench's son, Bobby, told The Enquirer last week that the former Big Red Machine catcher is feeling 100 percent now after testing positive recently for COVID-19, and added - as his father tweeted a week earlier - that the 73-year-old legend would've been hospitalized if he hadn't received the vaccine.

"Onset was mild," Bobby Bench said in a text to The Enquirer, in describing Johnny's symptoms.
