I have 62 cards of Todd Benzinger. This one is from 1988 Classic Blue.
Playing career: First baseman Todd Benzinger came up with
the Red Sox in 1987, having a solid rookie season. He was the regular first
baseman for the Red Sox in 1988 and Reds in 1989 and 1990, but did not hit well
enough to be a regular major league first baseman. He bounced around as a
backup for several other teams (Royals, Dodgers, Giants) through 1995.
My memories: I remember him as part of a big Red Sox rookie
class that included Ellis Burks and Sam Horn in 1987. I also remember watching
him catch the last out of the 1990 World Series.
Where he is now: He does some youth coaching an minor league
broadcasting in Dayton, OH.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fifth when you type Todd
Ben, between Todd Bentley 2013 and Todd Bentley Scandal, both of which refer to
a controversial minister. There do not appear to be any other prominent Todd
Benzingers.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Jeff Berblinger.
