Charles Ray Knight

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: December 28, 1952 in Albany, GA

Ray's greatest challenge as a player was replacing Pete Rose in the Cincinnati lineup, but his greatest triumph was undoubtedly the 1986 World Series, when he was voted the Most Valuable Player. That event is pictured here, on a 1987 Fleer World Series card. Six more cards are shown below, one for each big-league team that Ray played for, and one certified autograph card.
