Andrew Benintendi – Iron-Man

Both men can fly, both men stand for what they believe in, and both will sacrifice themselves for the sake of the team. Andrew Benintendi and Tony Stark are one and the same when all is said and done.

What Benni did this postseason with his game-saving catches was something of lore. Much like when Iron Man sacrificed himself to save New York City in the first Avengers film.

Benni is the right man to have by your side in the trenches as he’ll always have your back when the crap hits the fan. Not to mention he has zero fear about going into a battle and has the confidence of Tony Stark.

Much like Tony Stark, Benintendi is also used to earning accolades from his fellow players and the media. Having won the AP Play of the Year Award for his game-saving catch against the Astros in the ALCS. Neither Benintendi or Iron man is afraid to be flashy in the process of getting the job done.

Benni isn’t afraid of the spotlight either, similar to his super hero counterpart. He’ll do the big interviews and never shy away. When the stakes are the highest and the lights shining the brightest, Andrew Benintendi and Iron Man are at their best. I have a feeling that Benni and Tony would get along pretty damn well.
