Despite falling out of the upper echelon in the past few games, Ben's career numbers are stronger than most other long-term players'. His .416 career average is eclipsed by only a handful of players - most with statistically insignificant totals - and his two titles in eight attempts is the second-highest percentage in the game. He also reigns supreme over two of our editions, as well as an entire closet full of miniature plastic soldiers. He sometimes fights these little soldiers against one another in his "Warhammer Room". Usually in his underwear.

Ben's strengths lie in the social sciences and recent pop culture. While history is definitely his strongest suit, his weakness may lie in the culture of the past. His opponents hope so, and they also hope he gets cancer.
