Chief Bender

[bounty37h]

has passed away, yet anohter big blow to Reds history, and a loss of a great man. I had the pleasure of sitting next to him for 2 Spring Training games 3 or 4 years ago, and being able to listen to his stoires, pick his brains, etc was one of the greatest baseball experiences I have ever had.

In the ORG, they mentioned that things like this traditionally come in threes. I guess whoever said that was right.

Another great name with great memories.

RIP

this is very sad news....Chief would always make it out to the caravan and even though he wouldnt say much, he would get a nice hand and sign every autograph....
