Whatever happened to...

Todd Benzinger?

The longest-lasting memory of Benzinger was of him catching a foul ball to win the 1990 World Series. So what is Todd up to these days?

Currently, Benzinger is coaching girls high school varsity basketball at Loveland High School, where his daughter Justine used to play (daughter Presley plays for JV). The team is 17-2.

Benzinger is still living in the Cincinnati area with Presley & Justine and son Grant.

Other than that, I can't find much about Todd. There is a 2005 article catching up with him, but much of that info is outdated. Anyone know anything else about Todd?

Whatever happened to...

So I was watching the Reds rewind last night of Game 4 of the 1990 series. We were talking about former players, and the name Eddie Taubensee came up. It gave me a thought. I think I'm going to feature "what ever happened to" former Reds posts on here. Is there any interest in that?

Well, in case there is, here's the first one:

Eddie Taubensee is now the Director of Evangelism at Harvest Church in Winter Garden, FL. According to their site:

Eddie had an 11 year Major League Baseball career catching for the Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Indians. He has travelled the world sharing the gospel in Thailand, South Africa, Japan, Dominican Republic, Australia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Germany. Eddie and His wife René are the Pro Athletes Outreach, Ambassadors to Major League Baseball and are the directors of the annual Baseball Conference. At Harvest you can also find him teaching Basic Training to the K-4th grade students or helping out in the nursery when needed. If you get here early enough he may even explain the MLB stadium being used as a template for that day's seating arrangement. Eddie also enjoys being a little league coach and full time father to his 3 boys.

I also found him in the Board of Directors of Pro Athletes Outreach, as mentioned in Harvest Church's bio.
