Teams

Joseph Anthony "Bananas" Benes (January 8, 1901 – March 7, 1975) was an infielder in Major League Baseball. He played for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1931.[1]

Branch Rickey added Benes to the Cardinals' roster in May 1931. Given that Benes was 30 years old at the time, Rickey stated that Benes was not regarded as a future prospect but as "reserve strength" to back up shortstop Charlie Gelbert.[2] By June 17, 1931, however, he was replaced on the roster by infielder Jakie Flowers and returned to the minors.[3]
