Bernard Oliver "Benny" Bengough[needs IPA] (July 27, 1898 – December 22, 1968) was an American professional baseball player and coach.

[1] Although Bengough was a good defensive player, his offense did not satisfy Yankees manager Miller Huggins and, he returned to his role as a backup catcher for the next few seasons.

[4][9] He began to play regularly late in the 1928 season and started in all four games of the 1928 World Series, as the Yankees swept the St. Louis Cardinals.

[12] Bengough's arm injury continued to hamper him during spring training in 1929 as Bill Dickey took over as the Yankees starting catcher, going on to a successful career and eventual induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

[1][5] In July 1931, he returned to the major leagues with the St. Louis Browns, where he served as a backup catcher to future Hall of Fame member, Rick Ferrell.

[3] He reached another World Series as a coach when the 1950 Phillies team known as the Whiz Kids won the National League pennant.

[19] In 1959, Bengough was named as the head of the Junior Baseball Federation of Philadelphia which raised funds for under-privileged children.
