Here's a picture of a few of his cards.

Hey Tony
An awesome collection of Allie Reynolds cards you have on display in Post #5.
Career-wise, Allie Won 182 games, lost 107. With the Yankees (1947 - 1954), his record is 179 - 67 (when you include Saves) for an exceptional W-L % of .73
Although, Reynolds was Casey Stengel's premier starting Pitcher, Casey would not hesitate to use Allie in relief in a crucial game. Especially, when the Yankees
relief Ace, Joe Page, was no longer on the team. Furthermore, Allie was a pretty good batter.
Allie deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and another factor which I don't understand is why the Yankees never retired his uniform # 22.
Allie Reynolds and Joe Page, perfect together......

Take care Tony,
