2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Auto, CIN ⭐ Johnny Bench, #10/18
Johnny Bench revolutionized the catcher position.
He could hit like a corner infielder, throw like a cannon, handle pitchers, block pitches, call games, and endure the physical punishment of catching at the highest level.
He was the centerpiece of Cincinnati's Big Red Machine and, remarkably, became an everyday catcher almost immediately after reaching the majors.
For those who missed my good morning post -- Johnny Bench is arguably the greatest catcher in baseball history.

• Hall of Fame: First-ballot, 96.4% of the vote in 1989.

• 14× All-Star

• 2× National League MVP — 1970 and 1972

• 10× Gold Glove

• 2× World Series champion — 1975 and 1976

• 389 career home runs

• 1,376 RBI

• 2,048 hits

• .267 career batting average

• 75.2 career WAR

• Holds the MLB record for home runs by a catcher (327).

• In 1970, he hit 45 home runs with 148 RBI—an extraordinary offensive season for any player, much less a catcher.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Auto ⭐ Mariano Rivera #8/9
I'm not a Yankees fan, per se.
Mariano Rivera is without question the greatest relief pitcher of all time and I'd put him in the Top 10 of all pitchers in MLB History.
His exploits are legend and his signature immaculate.
I'm glad I was alive during his prime.

2006 Topps Triple Threads, #11/18 ⭐ Steve Garvey - MVP
Let me start by saying that I'm not a Dodgers fan, per se.
However, after Roberto Clemente gave his life on New Year's Eve 1972, Steve Garvey became one of my favorite players.
I remember watching him win two All-Star Game MVP Awards, in 1974 & 1978.
Back then, I got a thrill watching the All-Star game.
