	Red Reporter :: Johnny Bench
		Allowing for Josh Gibson and the unfairness which was attached to him, and acknowledging that I always admired Johnny Bench, there is a measure by which you can and should note Yogi Berra as the greatest catcher who ever played the game (albeit by a very short distance) with Johnny Bench his second.
		Now: For all we speak of what it is a catcher does or does not do, it is rarely enough bespoken that one of his primary pieces of business---maybe the first and most important piece of business he has---is to handle a pitching staff.
		Saying Johnny Bench is second only to Yogi Berra is not exactly insulting to Johnny Bench, particularly when the margin is as slim between these two men as you could imagine between any two other players at any other position, and particularly since these two leave their fellows well enough behind.

	Batgirl: Comment on
		Sal Maglie may have been or may not have been a lousy pitching coach (and judging by how he's characterized in "Ball Four", I'd bet on the former), but there are effective pitching coaches out there.
		Johnny Sain was the pitching coach for the '65 Twins plus 4 other World Series teams, and was pitching coach for the most 20-game winners ever.
		Bouton has very kind words about Johnny Sain in his book, so clearly he doesn't believe that ALL coaches are useless bum-covering platitude shouters -- just a large portion of them.

		The Indians jumped on Sain in the first inning as Mitchell led off with a single and was then doubled home by Boudreau.
