Who is the man: Bob Reed enjoyed his longest stay in the major leagues in 1970, appearing in 16 games for the Tigers.
Can ya dig it: I love seeing wide expanses of green with the grandstand in the distance, as well as a vehicle and possibly palm trees.
Right on: Those giant "TV" numbers are so 1960s.
You see that cat Reed is a bad mother: Reed was a fourth-round selection by the Tigers in the very first major league draft in 1965. He was one of just nine players selected by the Tigers that year that made the majors.
Shut your mouth: This is Reed's only solo Topps card. He also appears on a two-player rookie prospects card in the 1970 set.
No one understands him but his woman: Reed was done pitching in the majors in 1970 and through with pro baseball period by 1972. There's not much else out there about him.
(A word about that back): That "Life" line truly is. That's the life of his major league career.
Wow, I have never heard of this guy until today.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI have about 25 of this card.
