Bengie comes from a baseball family.  His father, Benjamin, Sr., was inducted into the Puerto Rico Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame as a second baseman and his two younger brothers, Jose (Tampa Bay Rays) and Yadier (St. Louis Cardinals), are current Major League catchers.  The Molina brothers were the first trio of siblings in the Major Leagues during the same season (2004).  Bengie is married to his wife, Jaime, and has three daughters, Kyshly, Kelssy, and Jayda.

During his Major League career, Bengie compiled a career batting average of .274 with 144 home runs, and 711 runs batted.  He won the Gold Glove Award as the top defensive catcher in the American League in consecutive seasons, 2002 and 2003.  During these two seasons, he also led the American League in Caught Stealing Against Percentage.  Bengie was a World Series Champion in 2002 with the Anaheim Angels. While with the San Francisco Giants, he was the Willie Mac Award recipient for spirit and leadership in 2007 and 2008.  In 2010, while playing with the Texas Rangers, Bengie was the first catcher in MLB history to hit for the cycle and hit a grand slam in the same game.

Following his retirement from Major League Baseball, Bengie opened Molina Impact Training in Port Orange, FL to help aspiring athletes to develop baseball and softball skills while teaching important life lessons.  Currently, he is the First Base Coach and Catcher's Coach for the Texas Rangers.
