Interesting read. I think he’s turned the corner
Q. What was it like apologizing to Johnny Bench?
A. It was emotional. Johnny has the ability to say things that make you feel good, but also letting you know what he thinks of what you did, all at the same time. He said, “I appreciate your phone call, even though it’s late.’ He’s right. It was late, real late. I’d taken away from him, when he’d been elected to the Hall of Fame and I was under investigation (by Baseball for gambling). Of everybody, he has the right to be the maddest. And I apologized to him the most, because I know that.
