1971 Topps #158 Jerry Reuss
About Jerry Reuss
Card #158 sits in the second series and follows Reuss's first full big-league stint. He was recalled from Tulsa in June 1970 with a 7-2 record. He then went 7-8 with a 4.10 ERA in 20 starts. His first shutout came against Montreal on August 9, and he beat the Dodgers 1-0 on August 28. He allowed six earned runs in his last 33 innings.
Jerry Reuss was a 6-foot-5 left-handed starter from St. Louis who pitched 22 seasons, 1969 to 1990, and won 220 games with a 3.64 ERA for the Cardinals, Astros, Pirates, Dodgers, Reds, Angels, White Sox and Brewers. He was an All-Star in 1975 and 1980, and won the 1980 game by striking out all three batters he faced. His 1980 season with the Dodgers brought an 18-6 record, a 2.51 ERA, a major-league-high six shutouts and a June 27 no-hitter against the Giants that fell one throwing error short of a perfect game. He was second to Steve Carlton in the Cy Young vote. In 1981 he beat Houston in the deciding Division Series game and won Game 5 of the World Series over Ron Guidry as the Dodgers beat the Yankees in six games. He later worked as a broadcaster, and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame (2016) and St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame (2019) inducted him.
