Frederic Carl Reichardt (born March 16, 1943) is an American former Major League outfielder. His athletic prowess was highly rated by all Major League Baseball scouts, and when a bidding war ensued for his signing, he received a $200,000 ($2,054,130 today) signing bonus from the Los Angeles Angels, a record for that time. It was the bidding war for Reichardt that ultimately led Major League Baseball to institute a draft, which started in 1965, with Rick Monday being the first ever #1 overall selection.

In 1966, Reichardt became the first player to hit a home run at Anaheim Stadium.

Los Angeles / California Angels (1964-1970)
Washington Senators (1970)
Chicago White Sox (1971-1973)
Kansas City Royals (1973-1974)

Sent him 2 cards on 10 Dec and got them back signed on 24 Dec
