Player notes: Reuss looked like a prototypical power pitcher, but actually owed his success to pinpoint control and a great deal of savvy. He pitched for eight different teams in a major league career that spanned 22 years and covered parts of four different decades. His lifetime winning percentage was .535, and he pitched for five different division winners and one World Championship team. He was never a 20 game winner, but won more than 15 games several times during his career. His best season was probably 1980, when he won Comeback Player of the Year honors and finished second in the Cy Young Award voting. He also pitched a no-hitter that year.

Reuss amassed a total of 220 career victories in a career that fell short of being Hall of Fame caliber, but was characterized by excellence nonetheless.
