Featuring Jeff Reardon with the Montreal Expos, this Jeff Reardon autographed 1982 Donruss #547 Montreal Expos card showcases the relief pitcher early in the Montreal portion of a career that would establish him as one of baseball's leading closers of the 1980s. Known as The Terminator, Reardon became a dominant late-inning presence and eventually accumulated 367 career saves.

Reardon began his Major League career with the New York Mets in 1979 before being traded to Montreal during the 1981 season. He quickly assumed an important role in the Expos bullpen and helped Montreal reach the postseason for the first time in franchise history that year.

In 1982, Reardon recorded 26 saves for the Expos, beginning a four-year stretch in which he established himself among the National League's top relief pitchers. His finest Montreal season came in 1985, when he posted a 2.70 ERA with a Major League-leading 41 saves in 65 appearances. That performance earned Reardon his first All-Star selection and a seventh-place finish in National League Cy Young Award voting.

Reardon later joined the Minnesota Twins and helped them capture the 1987 World Series championship, recording saves during both the ALCS and World Series. He became the first pitcher in Major League history to record a 40-save season in both the National and American Leagues.

A four-time All-Star, Reardon pitched 16 Major League seasons and finished with 367 saves, a total that ranked among baseball's all-time leaders when his career ended. The 1982 Donruss #547 is an appealing early-career issue for Expos collectors, Jeff Reardon fans, closer and relief-pitching collections, early Donruss collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
