1966 Topps #387 Howie Reed
About Howie Reed
Reed opened 1966 with the Dodgers coming off their 1965 World Series championship before a May trade sent him across town to the California Angels, where he finished out the season. He worked 20 games between the two clubs with a 2.82 ERA and one save, splitting part of the year in the minors. This card, part of print series 5, pictures him with the Dodgers.
Howard Dean Reed was a right-handed pitcher from Dallas, Texas who spent ten seasons in the majors between 1958 and 1971. Signed by the Kansas City Athletics, he debuted in relief in September 1958 and, in his first big-league start later that month, threw a complete-game win over Early Wynn, but did not stick in Kansas City and spent most of the early 1960s winning games for Spokane in the Pacific Coast League. The Dodgers acquired him in a trade for Ed Rakow in 1961 and recalled him in June 1964. He wore Roy Campanella's old No. 39 in Los Angeles and pitched a career-high seven wins for the pennant-winning 1965 club before a May 1966 trade sent him to the Angels. After more minor league seasons with Houston's system, he found a longer big-league home with the expansion Montreal Expos from 1969 to 1971, working mostly in relief. He finished with a 26-29 record, 268 strikeouts and nine saves over 229 games. After retiring he worked for Seagram's and in Expos broadcasting before returning to his family farm in Texas, where he died in 1984 at age 47.
