1981 Donruss, Reggie Cleveland


#206 Reggie Cleveland

Here is the Reggie Cleveland card that I got signed through the mail in December. I sent this card to him at the end of November and I had it back six days later. Reggie charges one dollar per autograph and I was more than willing to cough up the buck for his signature. I wish everyone charged a dollar for an autograph. That would offset the guys that charge five, ten, or twenty dollars or more.

Reggie pitched for thirteen seasons with the Cardinals, Red Sox, Rangers, and Brewers. He was mainly a starter, though he did move to the bullpen towards the end of his career. He was a double-digit winner in eight of the seasons he played, including a seven year stretch from 1971-77. He topped out for a career-high of 14 wins twice. He struck out 100 or more batters four times with a career high of 153 in '72. For his career, Reggie was 105-106 with 25 saves and a 4.01 ERA. He is a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

Reggie never pitched for the Indians.
