One of the true unsung heroes of the Big Red Machine was Sheldon "Chief" Bender, the Reds farm system director during this golden era. This 64-year baseball veteran helped put those amazing teams together under his guidance. This ring is of gorgeous design in all original 10K gold with real diamond on top and "Bender" on side. Unimprovable NRMT condition, it is stamped "10K Balfour" inside. Exactly like the player rings, this is identical to those the players received. Comes with LOA from his son. That great baseball name lives on in this ring and in the fact the Cincinnati Reds Minor League Player of the Year Award is named for him. 30.6g. Size 10.5.
