Benny Griggs

Benny Griggs was a pitcher on the 1961 Jacksonville Jets. The photo on the left would be that Benny. It is from the Wellsville (NY) Daily Reporter of May 15, 1959, and shows him with the Wellsville Braves. I'm not so sure about the photo on the right, but it's probably Benny in a North Battleford (Saskatchewan, Canada) uniform. It comes from the website, attheplate.com. It claims that it is the same Bennie (sic) Griggs who pitched for Wellsville and Jacksonville. However, it gives this Bennie Griggs' birthdate as Aug. 28 1928, whereas baseball-reference.com gives our desired Benny Griggs' birthdate as an unknown day in the year 1935.
