[edit] Biographical Information
Mike Benjamin was signed as a 3rd round pick in the 1987 amateur draft by the San Francisco Giants and scout Gene Thompson.
A prototypical good field, no-hit player, Benjamin managed 11 years of major league service, spent mostly with the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His only notable offensive category was in hitting 7 triples for the Pirates in the 1999 season when he was the starting shortstop for most of the year.
After his playing career was over, he coached his son Mike Jr to the Little League World Series.
