It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Terrible Tuesday card. Beau Lofgren obliged with a this 1981 Reggie Smith XB card. Now, Reggie Smith had a pretty decent 17-year career batting .287 with 314 homeruns and 1092 rbis. At age 36 though, the tread on Reggie’s tires were wearing pretty thin.
For the Los Angeles Dodgers, Smith batted .200 in 35 at bats and grounded into four double plays in 1981. He homered once and doubled once as well. To his credit, he did walk seven times.
| Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | SB | BB | SO | GDP | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 Totals | 41 | 44 | 35 | 5 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 7 | 8 | .200 | .318 | .314 | 4 |
Oh but those double plays! They translate to a total of eleven 24s! What especially hurts is the 24s on traditionally good numbers like 35 and 13.
Since they were no other place to put them, Smith has 13s on some pretty odd places like 32-13 and 34-13. And as mentioned before, Reggie walked a faired amount in his short time in 1981 so APBA gave him a total of six 14s.
Ugly numbers: I mean, just look at the card!
Reggie Smith’s 1981 card has no ground ball result numbers that aren’t a traditional double play number (12, 24, 25).
thanks Beau!
hurt my eyes to look at that lol
Being a Dodger fan, seeing that card, and knowing just what he did for the Dodgers, kinda hurts. But, I’ll look up his 77 card to get over that feeling.
