Anthony Loza Reyes (born October 16, 1981 in Whittier, California) is a right-handed pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization of Major League Baseball. Reyes is a Whittier, California native. Reyes is known to be superstitious, often wearing a flat-billed cap and long baseball socks. Contrary to popular belief, Reyes does not iron the bill of his hat, rather, he cuts out some of the inner lining of the hat, which allows for the bill to lie flatter due to the way the hat fits his head.
