NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 KEN REYNOLDS

Here’s a “not so missing” 1977 card for former pitcher Ken Reynolds, who finished up a six-year Major League career with 19 appearances with the San Diego Padres in 1976:


Reynolds, who originally came up with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1970, came to San Diego after one season with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he appeared in 10 games in 1975 where he posted a record of 0-1 with an ERA at 1.59 over 17 innings of work.
In 1976 with San Diego he ended up at 0-3, with a rough 6.40 ERA over 32.1 innings, starting two games while finishing six, with a save thrown in.
The bulk of his MLB playing time were the 1971 and 1972 seasons with the Phillies, where he was a regular starter, throwing 162.1 and 154.1 innings respectively, winning seven games while losing 24 combined for those “second-division” teams.
By the time he retired from Big League play, Reynolds ended up with a record of 7-29, with an ERA of 4.46 over 103 appearances and 375.2 innings, with 51 of those appearances starts.
