Al Benninger is one of the most familiar faces along press row at University of Louisville athletic events, having served as a statistician for UofL basketball and football teams for 46 years. What’s less commonly known is that Benninger is a legend in the softball community at large.
The 93-year-old Benninger had such an impact on the sport that the softball field at Camp Taylor Park was recently named Al Benninger Field in his honor.
