JOHNNY BENCH and Mark Goodman have a number of things in common: they are both from the Southwest, they are both one-eighth Choctaw Indian, and they both had baseball in the blood early. At that point their careers divide for a while. Goodman, his knee battered in high school athletics, quit the game as a Cornell freshman. He took a degree in philosophy, tended bar for a time, and after working for United Press International came to TIME in 1966 as a reporter. He has since written for the Sport, Show Business, Cinema and Nation sections. Bench, less...
...finger of his right hand three years in a row, and smashed his shoulder in a collision with Cincinnati's Rose during the 1970 All-Star game. Chicago Cub Veteran Randy Hundley, who perfected the one-handed catch that Bench has adopted, was nearly retired at 28 with knee injuries and is playing only part time this season. A few up-and-coming receivers are still healthy, including the St. Louis Cardinals' hard-hitting Ted Simmons and the New York Mets' Duffy Dyer, who was recently named National League Player of the Week-after replacing the injured...

Running eight miles a day, including wind sprints up and down the steps of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Seagren was back in competition by March 4, vaulting a respectable 16 ft. 6 in. at the Meet of Champions in Los Angeles...
...bedroom ranch. Here he raised his five children, Spence, 29; Bob, 27; Kern Jr., 25; Betty, 24; Carole, 22. Wilson and his wife Dorothy, whom he married five days before Pearl Harbor in 1941, are openly affectionate; he likes to hold her hand in public or squeeze her knee when sitting beside her. He also talks over many of his big plans with her. A handsome, energetic woman, Mrs. Wilson was named Mother of the Year by the American Mothers Committee in 1970. Both Methodists, the Wilsons are regular churchgoers, though he occasionally nods off during a sermon...
