Rafael Alberto Reyes (born April 10, 1970), better known as Al Reyes, is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2006 he signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and was placed on the Durham Bulls minor league roster, but did not play a game that season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. A right handed pitcher and career reliever, he has played for seven teams; debuting on April 27, 1995 with the Milwaukee Brewers and playing for the Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees, and St. Louis Cardinals over the years. On December 22, 2006 he signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, where he became their closer. Reyes finished the year with 26 saves in 30 chances. Notably, his only blown saves came against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Boston Rex Sox.
He missed the Cardinals 2005 playoff run after tearing ligament in his right elbow, and required reconstructive surgery. He was originally drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1988.
On April 10th, 2008, Reyes got into a fight at a bar in South Tampa and was tased twice by a police officer.[1] This had little affect on his ability to throw, as the very next night he got the win for the Rays vs. Orioles game.
