i must confess that i missed bill reidy when i compiled my list of dodger franchise double dippers a couple of years ago. luckily, i came across the sheet upon which his 1990 target card was featured and my oversight was negated.
bill reidy was a double dipper.
[this is the eightieth installment in the double dippers posts. here are the previous posts - brett butler, omar daal, eric young, nick willhite, chris gwynn, mickey hatcher, dave anderson, don zimmer, rafael landestoy, dave hansen, jose vizcaino, hideo nomo, greg maddux, mike maddux, jon garland, chan ho park, vicente romo, gene mauch, denny lewallyn, von joshua, joe moeller, dioner navarro, rudy seanez, bart shirley, randy wolf, ismael valdes, bobby castillo, mike devereaux, pete richert, jay johnstone, jesse orosco, lee lacy, giovanni carrara, jeff weaver, ted sizemore, orel hershiser, tom goodwin, joe ferguson, eddie murray, matt luke, ken mcmullen, tim wallach, jerry grote, don sutton, ralph branca, todd hundley, elmer dessens, guillermo mota, joe beckwith, jamie hoffmann, babe herman, joe medwick, juan castro, ron perranoski, clyde king, paul waner, hughie jennings, ron negray, broadway aleck smith, george smith, johnny cooney, jim fairey, frenchy bordagaray, doc casey, waite hoyt, luis olmo, clyde sukeforth, willie keeler, harry howell, germany smith, johnny allen, marv rackley, bobo newsom, maury wills, dazzy vance, ray hayworth, zack taylor, john cronin, art herring, and brian falkenborg.]
his career began in 1896 with the new york giants, but he joined the superbas in 1899. reidy pitched in two games for brooklyn that year, winning one and 'saving' the other, but moved on to hugh duffy's milwaukee brewers where he pitched during the 1901 season. reidy remained with the franchise when it moved to saint louis in 1902 (becoming the browns) and pitched for them in to the 1903 season before rejoining brooklyn. reidy was 6-7 for the superbas in 1903, and then 0-4 in 1904, his final season in the big leagues.
i thought that there were only two more double dippers to feature, but i've found at least one more in the target set, other than reidy. stay tuned.
