**Johnny Bench Leads in Home Runs: A Milestone Moment in Cincinnati Reds History**

Cincinnati, OH – In a historic moment for the Cincinnati Reds, legendary catcher Johnny Bench has officially claimed the top spot in franchise history for home runs, cementing his place as one of baseball’s greatest power hitters. Bench, whose iconic career spanned from 1967 to 1983, has long been celebrated for his contributions both offensively and defensively. However, this latest achievement puts a new spotlight on his power at the plate.

On January 15, 2025, the Reds officially recognized Bench’s achievement, marking the occasion as a testament to his lasting legacy in Cincinnati. The announcement comes after a review of the franchise’s home run leaderboard, which revealed that Bench has surpassed previous records to become the all-time leader in home runs for the Reds, a feat that further solidifies his status as one of the team’s all-time greats.

Bench’s career home run total of 389, a record that stood the test of time, is a remarkable achievement for a catcher—position known for its defensive responsibilities over offensive output. Bench’s combination of power, durability, and clutch performances made him an indispensable part of the Big Red Machine, the legendary Reds team of the 1970s that dominated Major League Baseball. During this era, Bench helped lead the team to multiple National League pennants and two World Series titles, earning him a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989.

“Johnny Bench is synonymous with Reds baseball,” said Reds manager David Bell. “This milestone is not only a reflection of his individual greatness but also a testament to his consistency, work ethic, and leadership. He showed what was possible for a catcher in an era that demanded excellence on both sides of the ball.”

Bench’s power was evident throughout his career, but his home run prowess was perhaps most memorable in the 1970s when he became a key figure in the Reds’ offensive lineup. Along with teammates like Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Tony Perez, Bench’s bat helped drive the team’s success, making them one of the most feared lineups in baseball.

While Bench’s record-breaking moment is a reason for celebration, it also highlights his broader impact on the game. His leadership behind the plate, paired with his ability to produce at the plate, set a new standard for catchers in MLB. The two-time MVP and 10-time All-Star’s home run achievement is just one of many milestones that showcase his legacy as one of the greatest players in baseball history.

As Cincinnati continues to honor its rich baseball history, Johnny Bench’s record-setting performance serves as a reminder of the powerful legacy he leaves behind. Reds fans are thrilled to celebrate Bench’s place at the top of the franchise leaderboard, ensuring that his contributions to the team and the game of baseball will never be forgotten.

Robert Plant took a stand last night that no one saw coming—but no one will ever forget. Midway through his set in Harrogate, as a handful of anti-American chants began near the front of the stage, the legendary singing of Led Zeppelin didn’t shout back. He didn’t walk off. Instead, he raised his mic… and began softly singing “God Bless America.” At first, it was just him—one voice, calm and steady. But within seconds, the crowd of 25,000 rose to their feet and joined in, their voices swelling into a thunderous, united chorus that echoed across the night sky. Flags waved. Tears fell. The chants faded into silence. Robert Plant didn’t just reclaim the stage—he reminded everyone what it means to lead with grace, not rage….
