2001 Fleer Tradition #349 Andy Benes
On September 6, 2002, Andy (pitching for the Cardinals) faced off against his brother, Cubs pitcher Alan Benes, in what was only the seventh time a pair of brothers pitched against each other in a Major League game. Andy got the better of Alan by pitching a complete game. Alan was removed from the game in the third inning. The Cardinals won 11-2.
I am a big fan of Benes. His arrival in 1996 helped start the Cardinals resurgence. I have also spoken to him at Cardinals Carvans. Very knowledgeable about coaching kids.
