Ray Benge Autographs
Ray Benge was a right-handed pitcher born on February 22, 1902, in Brandon, Mississippi. He spent his professional career playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Giants, and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1925 to 1938. He had an excellent career, playing in 324 games, winning 101, losing 93, and recording 4 saves; he also had an earned run average of 3.63 with 631 strikeouts in 1,706 innings.
Benge, with his unique sidearm pitching style, was known for his unhittable curveball. His curveball helped him finish 13th in the MVP voting in 1933, leading the league in shutouts with 4, walking only 2.9 batters per nine innings, and striking out 99 batters. Benge made some consistency issues in his career, but his pitching style made him a turning point in baseball pitching history: he was one of the first who aimed exclusively at the outside of the plate, and nobody did it as well as he did.
Aside from being one of the best pitchers of his time, Benge was also known as an outstanding hitter. In his 12 years in the Major Leagues, Benge hit 13 home runs and had a batting average of .238. Upon retiring in 1938, Ray Benge worked as an insurance agent and lived in Jackson, Mississippi, until his death on June 22, 1997, at the age of 95.
