If you never got to watch Matt Reis play, I feel bad for you.
Reis, who suited up for the New England Revolution from 2003-2013, was one of the best goalkeepers in MLS history. The guy had cat-like reflexes and could seemingly do the impossible.
More than that, he was a charismatic presence in the locker room. My favorite Reis moment happened when I interviewed him about Clint Dempsey’s return. I asked Reis if Dempsey had grown while in Europe. The jokester quickly replied, saying, “I don’t think he’s gotten any taller.”
Today, Reis turns 42 and Twitter decided to celebrate the occasion by sharing their own Reis memories.
