Ronn Dwayne Reynolds (born September 28, 1958), is an American former professional baseball catcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, and San Diego Padres.
After playing college baseball at the University of Arkansas, Reynolds was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 5th round in 1979.
[1] Reynolds played 51 games for two of the Mets' class-A minor league teams, getting 29 hits in 149 at bats.
He made his major league debut for the Mets on September 29, 1982, against the Chicago Cubs.
[4] In 1983, Reynolds split the season between the Mets and their class-AAA affiliate in Tidewater, getting a chance to play in the majors largely due to the injury to the John Stearns.
[6] The Mets television and radio announcers often commented in the unusual spelling of his first name (with two n's) when he came to bat that season.
[7] After the 1985 season, Reynolds was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Jeff Bittiger in exchange for Rodger Cole and Ronnie Gideon, neither of whom ever played a major league game.
With the bases loaded, Reynolds made a return throw to pitcher Danny Darwin and the Braves' Gerald Perry broke from third towards home plate.
Not only were the Braves credited with three stolen bases but Reynolds was injured on the play and left the game.
