One of the well-traveled men in International Baseball has found a new home in Hungary. The 40-year-old Anthony Bennett, who was born in San Mateo, California, joins the Hungarian club Szentendre Sleepwalkers for the upcoming season. Both sides agreed on a one-year contract but are open to a longer partnership. He is expected to arrive in Hungary in March and also will help out with the Hungarian Baseball and Softball Federation this year.
Bennett attended San Francisco City College and West Valley College before signing with the Milwaukee Brewers, where he played for several minor league teams. He later also played in Australia and Europe, working with clubs in Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Most recently he led the Patriots Liberec in 2008 as a second-division team into the Czech Final Four and into the Extraleague. Last year Bennett was a member of Nekketsu Making in the Japanese Industrial League.
