1978 Topps #199 Craig Reynolds
About Craig Reynolds
The Mariners shortstop on #199 played 135 games in 1977 and hit .248 with four home runs. He usually batted at or near the bottom of the Seattle order, but his lack of strikeouts and his ability to move runners over earned him the second spot early in 1978.
Craig Reynolds was a left-handed-hitting shortstop who played 15 seasons from 1975 to 1989 and was an original member of the Seattle Mariners. A Houston native, he was named the Greater Houston High School Athlete of the Year at Reagan High School in 1971, and the Pittsburgh Pirates took him in the first round of that year's draft. He became Seattle's starting shortstop immediately in 1977. He was the Mariners' lone American League All-Star in 1978. When Garry Templeton declined the 1979 invitation, he was added to the National League squad, making him the only shortstop in major league history picked for both leagues in consecutive years. Houston traded Floyd Bannister to Seattle for him after 1978, and he played 11 seasons with the Astros. He tied a major league record with three triples in a game on May 16, 1981, and shared the National League lead with 12 triples that year. In retirement he went into wealth management in Houston and became a pastor.
