A career-high 54 games for the 1974 Orioles brought Reynolds a 2.73 ERA and seven saves in 69 1/3 innings. Baltimore lost the ALCS to Oakland, three games to one, and Reynolds threw 1 1/3 innings with one strikeout. His Topps card #259 prints him with the Baltimore Orioles.
Bob Reynolds was a right-handed reliever from Seattle who could throw a baseball over 100 mph. The San Francisco Giants took him 18th overall in the 1966 June draft out of Ingraham High School, and the Montreal Expos picked him in the 1968 expansion draft. He debuted with Montreal in 1969, then pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians. His best seasons came with Baltimore, where he set career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched in 1973 and reached the postseason that year and the next. His six major league seasons produced a 14-16 record, a 3.15 ERA and 21 saves in 140 games. After the majors he pitched in Mexico and for the Taiyo Whales in Japan in 1977.
