Reardon who is a Berkshire County native, born in Pittsfield, raised

four-time All-Star selection during his 16 year major league career.
He spent time with the Mets, Expos, Twins, Red Sox, Braves, Reds and
Yankees. He was a dominant closer and earned the nickname, “The
Terminator.” Reardon saved at least 20 games per season from 1982 to
1992. In that stretch he was an All-Star in 1985, 1986, 1988, and
1991.
In 1985 Reardon was awarded the National League’s Rolaid’s Relief
Award, as he led the league in saves with 41. His most prestigious
accomplishment, however, came in 1987 as he closed out the decisive
Game 7 of the World Series, clinching the victory for the Minnesota
Twins over the St. Louis Cardinals.
