StatManDu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) A ROLLS REUSS OF A MOVE 1988: The White Sox announced that they were inviting veteran left-handed pitcher Jerry Reuss to training camp as a non-roster player. Reuss, 39, was a steady performer throughout the 1970s and mid-1980s for the Cardinals, Astros, Pirates and Dodgers. His numbers suffered a severe decline following the 1985 season. After going 2-6 for the 1986 Dodgers, Reuss bounced between the Dodgers, Reds and Angels in 1987, posting a 4-10 record with a 5.97 ERA. Reuss rebounded with the White Sox in 1988. He started the season as the fifth starter and he made just three appearances in April before his season took off. Reuss led the White Sox with 13 wins while posting a 3.44 ERA, which was lowest among the team’s starting pitchers. The highlight of Reuss’ season came May 9 when he notched his 200th victory in the Sox triumph at Baltimore. Reuss was the White Sox Opening Day starter in 1989 and lasted until July 31 when he and his 8-5 record were traded to the contending Milwaukee Brewers for minor leaguer reliever Brian Drahman, who, incidentally, was the winning pitcher in the White Sox inaugural victory at New Comiskey Park.
