Johnny Bench is a married man. He told The Enquirer’s “That’s So Cincinnati” show on Wednesday that he got married for the fifth time in March.
“We met seven years ago when our sons played soccer together,” he said.
He did say, though, that his future wife didn’t know who he was at first.

Bench went to a media event on Wednesday to show off new menu items at Council Oak Steaks & Seafood in Hard Rock Casino. He talked about a lot more, including what he thinks about adding a “ghost runner” to extra innings in baseball.
He said, “Don’t like that.” “I know who started it, and he’s sorry that he did it.”
