He wanted to keep playing, man in though. Never a the sprints, Bench's decision to give up catching narrowed the choice to either first base or third. The Reds were quite happy with Dan Driessen at first. Also with Ray Knight at third. But looking for someone who could play center field and give them a little more punch while opening a spot for Bench at the same time, they traded Knight to the Astros for Cesar Cedeno in December of as an if pitch to open the baseball season in a couple of weeks turns out to be a "sinker." The Cincinnati Reds have announced that the ball to be used for the first pitch has been aboard a submarine the past nine months and has logged 50,000 underwater miles.

I think "People ask me what I tell and third John playing about them it was rough for him last season but there's no reason he can t come back and play well this hitseason," says the Trentonian. ting "Guys like me have been playing the infield all our lives and we make mistakes," Krenchicki goes on. "John's a catcher and he's not used to playing third. Everybody here understands he's not gonna be a great third baseman, but we need his bat. He still can hit. Backing him up doesn't disturb me. It probably has got me more publicity than I ever had. Nobody knew who I was before. Some people do now. I know John still wants to play. If I were him, I wouldn't hang 'em up. They'd have to tear the shirt off my back." cepcion and backup third baseman Wayne Krenchicki, but sometimes the new position played him. More often than he should, he didn't field ground balls out in front of him enough. He'd take them in too close to him like a catcher. His .917 fielding average, which included 19 errors in 223 chances at third, was among the lowest in the league. "I think I learned a few things about playing third last year," says Bench, named to the NL All-Stteam 13 times as a catcher. "I learned it wasn't my favorite place and that it involves a lot of different glove work and reaction time than catching does. What I'm going to try to do this year is not let it become an obsession. I think it did last year and I didn't enjoy the circumstances." The adjustment wasn't easy and reflected itself in Bench's hitting. He struggled along at a .200 clip the first month. The second half of the season was much better. He hit .333 in July and .321 in September, winding up the season by connecting safely in 12 of his last 13 games to finish at .258 in 119 games with 13 homers and 38 RBI. Bench can't say how much longer he'll keep playing. "It depends on what happens this year," he says. "I think it's gonna be a good year for me." Krenchicki, a product of the want to catch anymore.

"I entertain the idea," he admits, "but I'm not crazy about it. There are days you think about it because things aren't what they used to be, what they're supposed to be, but I wouldn't say it's all that way. There are more of the other kind of days and that's why you want to keep going."

He's only 35 and people are pushing him to quit. Gaylord Perry is 44 and Carl Yastrzemski 43 and no one is pushing them at all. Bench is doing his best not to let it bother him. He says the same thing they all do. "I'm sure I'll know when it's time." None ever really do, though. Generally, they have to be told and even then they have trouble believing it. Until later on. Then they can be more objective and look at themselves in an entirely different light. "Some guys are writing I should quit," says Bench, starting his 16th season with the Cincinnati Reds with whom he has had a Hall of Fame career during which he hit more home runs than any other catcher in history, won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves and twice was voted National League MVP. Most of the suggestions for Bench to retire come from those who now see him as an impediment trying to play third base for the Reds but there are others, more well intentioned, who would prefer to remember him as one of the greatest catchers ever. Bench isn't blind. He sees for himself he isn't the same player he was, say, in 1970 and 1972, when he led the leape both years in Radio Shack EPC-15- 0 Finan- a real yields days.
