About Ken Reitz
Card #158 still lists Reitz with St. Louis, though the Cardinals had traded him to San Francisco for Pete Falcone on December 8, 1975. He had played 160 games at third in 1975 and hit .269. As a Giant in 1976 he batted .267 with 66 RBIs, his only season with his hometown club.
Ken Reitz was a third baseman known for his glove who played mainly for the St. Louis Cardinals between 1972 and 1982. Born in San Francisco, he was a 31st-round pick of the Cardinals in 1969 and debuted on September 5, 1972. He took over third base from Joe Torre in 1973 and led National League third basemen in fielding percentage six times, in 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1981. He won the Gold Glove in 1975, started the 1980 All-Star Game and retired with the highest career fielding percentage among NL third basemen, .970. He also played for the Giants, Cubs and Pirates, and finished with a .260 average, 68 home runs and 548 RBIs in 1,344 games. He earned the nickname Zamboni for the way he scooped up ground balls on the artificial turf at Busch Memorial Stadium. He died in 2021.
