WKU Baseball hosts First Pitch Banquet with Guest Speaker Johnny Bench

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Head Coach Marc Rardin and the WKU Baseball Team hosted their annual First Pitch Banquet with guest speaker Johnny Bench.

Bench is the face of the Cincinnati Reds who is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame and has his number retired.

He has a soft spot for Bowling Green when it comes to their support of him and Reds Nation.

“Bowling Green’s been one of the great supporters of the Cincinnati Reds, but more than that, it’s a great university,” Bench said. ” It was just an opportunity for me to come and have some fun, because I have fun.”
