Ron Reed Autographed 1984 Fleer Update #U-96 Chicago White Sox Card

Add an excellent final-season issue of longtime Major League pitcher Ron Reed with this 1984 Fleer Update #U-96 card featuring him with the Chicago White Sox, personally autographed by the former Philadelphia Phillies reliever and 1980 World Series champion.

The 1984 Fleer Update #U-96 is correctly cataloged as Ron Reed with the Chicago White Sox. It represents an important transition from his lengthy Phillies tenure, as Reed joined Chicago for the 1984 season after eight years in Philadelphia.

Even at age 41, Reed remained an effective Major League reliever. In 1984, he appeared in 51 games for the White Sox, posting a strong 3.08 ERA with 12 saves and 57 strikeouts in 73 innings. His 136 ERA+ showed that he remained a well-above-average pitcher during the final season of his career.

Reed's White Sox tenure also placed him on an interesting veteran pitching staff that included Tom Seaver, LaMarr Hoyt, Floyd Bannister and Richard Dotson. The 1984 Fleer Update set includes both Reed and Seaver among its Chicago White Sox subjects.

The card is particularly appealing for Reed collectors because 1984 proved to be his final Major League season. He retired after a remarkable 19-year career, finishing with a 146-140 record, 3.46 ERA, 103 saves and 1,481 strikeouts in more than 2,477 innings.

Reed is especially remembered by Phillies fans for his eight seasons in Philadelphia. He was an important bullpen arm for several postseason clubs, including the 1980 World Series champions and 1983 National League champions, before finishing his career in Chicago.
