BIO: Frederic Carl Reichardt was born in 1943 in Madison, WI and went to college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He played major league baseball from 1964 to 1974 as outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, California Angels, Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals. Reichardt is remembered as a prospect who drew such large bonus offers in 1964 that the major leagues soon decided to institute a draft. In addition to starring in baseball, Reichardt was a star football player at the University of Wisconsin and played in the Rose Bowl game. He had a kidney surgically removed early in his major league career after suffering from kidney disease, and his career was affected by this development. Reichardt played eleven seasons in the majors, and while his stats don't look great, he played during the second dead-ball era and so the stats are better than they appear. After baseball he ran a financial consulting business, coached college baseball, and as of 2008 was working with Roland Hemond of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
