One Okie Catches Another

You can travel the country and still meet a neighbor. That happened recently when Peter traveled to Orlando and photographed the greatest baseball catcher of all time, Mr. Johnny Bench. Johnny captivated a crowd of over 400 people with his tales of the game, highlights of the 1975 & 1976 World Series wins and his book Catch Every Ball: How to Handle Life’s Pitches. Peter and Johnny both hail from the state of Oklahoma and caught up on tales from the Sooner State as Mr. Bench whiled away the rest of the evening mingling with the attendees.
