Johnny Bench made an antisemitic joke while the Reds honored former general manager Gabe Paul at the team Hall of Fame induction news conference on Saturday.
Former MLBer and Cincinnati legend Pete Rose told the story of how Paul signed him for $400 per month out of high school.
Someone in the room exclaimed, “That’s cheap!” to which Bench, 75, responded, “He was Jewish!”
