Rick Reed Signed Baseball Mets – COA

Description

Presented is an ONL (Coleman) baseball autographed by Rick Reed.  He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen (“9″).  He inscribed the ball Rick Reed and the number 35″.   The ball itself shows little toning from age.

Reed found his major league stride with the New York Mets, going 13–9 and finishing sixth in the National League with a 2.89 ERA. His most productive season came in 1998, when he won 16 games and held a 3.48 ERA, striking out 153 batters while walking just 29. An All-Star in 1998 and 2001, he also was a member of the Mets team that faced the New York Yankees in the 2000 World Series. Reed was traded by the Mets to the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Matt Lawton midseason in 2001. He won 15 games for Minnesota in 2002 and led the American League in walks per nine innings. After a disappointing 2003 season where he went 6–12 with a 5.07 ERA, Reed retired. In a 15-season career, Reed posted a 93–76 record with 970 strikeouts and a 4.03 ERA.
