photo by Mike Gatty Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds, fields a question from the audience Thursday morning. Bench was a fan favorite during the Expo opening session, adroitly mixing advice for success ("Are you willing to make the effort to try to be the best? The best individuals make the best team.") with stories about growing up and his career. "I could throw a baseball through a car wash and it wouldn’t even get wet," he said. Bench drew a standing ovation.
