Our final HOF Athlete Nominee is Glenn Benjamin. He is highly regarded as one of the top pitchers the school has ever produced. He is listed six times in the IHSA Record Books: 9th for Career Wins (38), 12th for Season Wins (16), 8th for Career Innings (330), 3rd for Season Innings (148.2), 13th for Career Strikeouts (446), and 8th for Season Strikeouts (213). He was voted MVP of the MTC in 1990 with an ERA of .44, only allowing three earned runs in his eight starts and throwing a complete game in seven of those eight starts. He made the All-Conference Team in 1989, was MVP of the Odin Round Robin (ORR) in 1989, and Co-MVP of the ORR in 1990. He also threw three no-hitters during his OHS career. The Eagles were very successful, with a record of 134-37-1 during his career and winning the infamous "Grand Slam" title in his 1989-1990 season, the first and only team to do so. He was also a varsity basketball team member for all four years and was named the team's MVP in 1990. He led by example as an honor roll student/athlete and was the Class of 1990's President all four years. No one is more proud of their Eagle heritage as he can often be heard saying, "Eagle for Life"
Back with some more Hall of Fame!
