Johnny Bench Home Run Collection
MEMBER PRESALE OPPORTUNITY
As a benefit of your Reds Hall of Fame membership, you have the first opportunity to purchase baseballs from the Johnny Bench Home Run Collection before the general public. The collection will be available to the general public starting Monday, October 12 at 9 a.m. ET.
Johnny Bench’s phenomenal career home run total of 389 is just one of the reasons why he is considered Baseball’s Greatest Catcher! Fans now have the chance to own one of the most unique collectibles inspired by Johnny’s incomparable career and legacy.
The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to present the Johnny Bench Home Run Collection. Johnny has signed and numbered 389 Official Major League Baseballs, each of which has been marked as a part of the official Johnny Bench Home Run Collection with that baseball's unique home run number. Johnny has also signed 10 additional balls representing each of his postseason home runs and three balls representing his All-Star Game home runs. These home runs, along with select regular season home runs, will be available for auction according to the schedule shown below. Only one of each baseball exists. By purchasing a Home Run Collection baseball, you become the owner of that hit in perpetuity. The owner's name will appear on that home run’s listing in the Hall of Fame's online Home Run Collection Database.
Each baseball is delivered in a deluxe, 13.5" W X 18"H display that includes an exclusive photo collage that references your baseball's unique home run number and date. Also included is a Certificate of Ownership from the Reds Hall of Fame that is suitable for framing.
