On a pitching staff that featured Smoltz, Glavine, Avery and Leibrandt (plus Bielecki, Stanton, Wohlers, Berenguer and Reardon), it was unlikely that 26-year-old sophomore hurler Armando Reynoso would see much mound action. But the Mexican right-hander gave a respectable performance in his 3 games, with a 1-0 record and a save. Over a 12-year career with the Braves, Rockies, Mets and Diamondbacks, Reynoso racked up 68 total wins. Also of note, he wore the number 42 from 1991 to 1996, before the MLB retired Jackie Robinson's iconic number on Opening Day in 1997.
Manufactured by Jostens, Reynoso's 10K-gold, size 11 ring rates Near Mint and features 40 diamonds (46 points total) composing the baseball-shaped face. Shank designs showcase the Braves and World Series logos, along with "BACK TO BACK / National League Champions." For Bobby Cox and company, those pennants kicked off their incredible string of reaching the playoffs in 14 out of 15 seasons between 1991 and 2005, including their 1995 world championship. A 1994 purchase LOA accompanies.
