Benitez joined the Houston Spies by invoking a long-forgotten rule stipulating a player may be replaced on the squad by anyone who can best them in single combat. Spies management didn't allow the bout to go ahead, as Benitez had challenged Alexandria Rosales and would have been destroyed, but they signed Benitez on the spot in recognition of their gumption, chutzpah and moxie. Since that time, Benitez has been instrumental in developing the Spies' classic strategy of dragging the game into overtime so that everyone gets nervous and their opponents are more likely to make mistakes. Benitez claims they are actually better at batting against balls covered in palm sweat because it's the 12th innings and everything's on the line.
Benitez has been accused of taking the compromising photograph of Philly Pies General Manager Sam Hinkie and the state of Delaware which instigated the Delaware Affair, but Benitez asserts they've never even been to Delaware.
