I have 25 cards of Alan Benes. This one is from 1998 Score.
Playing career: Alan Benes pitched eight seasons in the
major leagues, six of them with the Cardinals. He also pitched briefly for the
Cubs and Rangers. In 115 games, he went 29-28 with a 4.59 ERA.
My memories: I remember him as one of three Benes brothers
in the Cardinals organization at the same time, for which there was a fair
amount of hype. In addition to Alan and his more famous brother Andy, there was
an Adam Benes who did not make the major leagues.
Where he is now: A scout for the Cardinals.
Google Autocomplete results: He is ninth when you type Alan
Ben, between Alan Bennett The Habit of Art, referring to a playwright and play,
and Alan Bendich Youtube, referring to the host of a web-TV program.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Andy Benes.
