Today is the final day that Baseball Birthdays will be on line, and I have barely scratched the surface of the 502 Lexibell folders of amazing press photos. I will post a few of them today, with the kind permission of this board.
When you try to name the lineup of the 1927 Yankees, you probably get hung up at the catching position. It was a three-way deal with Pat Collins, Johnny Grabowski and our man here, Benny Bengough (shot in 1928). Just thought this was a great photo that did not look nearly that dated; Bengough played from 1923-32 with the Yankees and Browns, and the closest he became to being a regular was 1925, when he caught in 95 games for the Yanks. He would go on to be a major league coach for 19 years, including with the 1950 Whitz Kids Phillies.
