My goodness, man, he was the only Cubs pitcher that I could count on for at least decent performances on a daily basis in the 70's. <br /><br />He hurt his arm and missed 1982, and actually went to Quad Cities and pitched 17 games in 1983 trying to get his arm back. It took until 1985 for him to get it together. If he had those three years back, AND of course if the Cubs didn't el-stinko, then who knows???<br /><br />He had an 8.7 WAR in 1977 and was 2.8 WAR at age 40.<br /><br />As for the card - Reuschel should not appear in close ups. But at least he didn't have the glasses that Paul did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
