Read full article: 76ers fan to give memorabilia back to Johnny Bench

The winning bidder on over $1 million worth of memorabilia from a recent auction of Johnny Benchโ€™s personal collection is returning the items to the Hall of Fame catcher, with whom heโ€™s been friends since 1967. Businessman Alan Horwitz, a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers who sits courtside at home games wearing his Sixth Man jersey, successfully bid for Benchโ€™s 1975 and โ€™76 World Series rings last month. Horwitz said he and Bench first met during Christmas vacation before Bench took over catching duties for the Cincinnati Reds beginning with the 1967 season. โ€œI am truly stunned by Alanโ€™s generous gesture and am grateful and proud that these trophies and memorabilia pieces will be on display for millions of fans to experience,โ€ Bench said. Sales totaled just under $2 million, according to Hunt Auctions, which ran the sale.
