There was always something majestic about a Reggie homerun.
That swing. I named my dog Reggie lol The other one I remember was the Willie Stargell wind ups in the batters box before the pitch
His homers were the prettiest to watch fly. That word majestic describes it perfectly
His swing is so mesmerizing.
That was one of the greatest era's ever in MLB history and Reggie was a big part of it. For a former Yankee to come back to the stadium and smash a HR off of Guidry, you know you are well loved. Reggie's soul maybe in Oakland but his Heart is in New York. #44 Forever Baby!
Baltimorehop Absolutely 🌈 I’m now 57 this was the BEST ERA for sports and music ⭐️. ....I share the same birthday as Mr. October 💖 ( May 18 ) ...Reggie was a WINNER everywhere he went! And nobody I ever saw CRUSHED an HR like Reggie Jackson 💪. Absolutely Classic!
I still have a ticket stub of Reggie hitting 3 in one game as an Angel...
@@hakashaqU812 what's the date I would like to find video
@@bigt5699 Sept 18 1986 I cant find any vids of it yet...
@@hakashaqU812 ok thanks if I find it I'll send you a link
Man did he have a flair for the dramatic or what. REGGIE WAS THE MAN !
The standing ovation and Reggie takes a bow.. all at Yankees stadium.. the best!!!
Reggie was class. Wasn't trying to show anybody up by lolly gagging, or sprinting, around the bases. Just class.
lol 😂 um no
When you get a curtain call from the NY Yankee fans & your an opposing player, you know you've done something with your career.
So true.
Amen.
How many players get a curtain call after they hit a home run ON THE ROAD?
Reggie was something
Sid Bream in Pittsburgh.
First time ive ever seen that!
These days? David Freese, probably.
;-)
Griffey did!
It's poetry in motion watching a ball sail toward the right field seats in the REAL YANKEE STADIUM!
My uncle always said the Real Yankee Stadium died in 1973.
I never had the chance to go to a Yankees game until the late 90's but at least it was technically the same building, renovation or not. The same field that the ghosts played on. What we have now is truly an imposter- although the atmosphere of the old stadium is slowly coming back.
@@kevaninthe4135 He was correct. I went to the original Yankee Stadium for a doubleheader on Bat Day in 1971, against the White Sox. The "renovated" stadium the opened in 1976 was a completely new stadium. The structures holding the building up were the same, but the entire inner portion of the stadium was gutted, and redone. The current Yankee Stadium is Yankee Stadium III.
Amen!!!!!!
Best backdrop ever for a homer
I was living with my aunt in The Bronx while working as a security officer for the New York Times. My shift started at midnight so I decided to go to The Stadium for the game. It was the biggest ovation for Reggie since the third homer he hit in the '77 World Series!!! 'Reggie Candy Bars' everywhere 😅
Do they still make the Reggie Bar?
@@dallasbrubaker6054 No, it made a brief comeback in the early 90's. stop being sold soon after.
@@duran007fan5 I heard it was like peanut clusters
He chose to go into HOF as Yankee. Says it all.
I can’t believe the announcers were surprised that the crowd cheered....Reggies a legend in the Bronx no matter what team he played for after
The last two teams, Reggie Jackson played for after the Yankees, were the Angels and A's.
The announcers were clueless to the impact and the man, Reginald Martinez Jackson
If the announcers are Steinbrenner's employees they have to act surprised, otherwise they would be subject to the Wrath Of The Boss !!! 😊
- Reggie made an immediate impact on his new team in 1982; the Angels wound up winning the Western Division in the American League...& would do so again in '86. Although both years ended with postseason heartbreak for the Halos in the end.
Yes it did! You had their closer commit suicide after a painful postseason lost!
We will never see a player of his kind again. A pure power hitter who loved the spotlight and stirred controversy. A winner who carried the whole team on his back. He was the straw that stirred the drink on arguably two of the best teams over the last 50 years.
This HR was an absolute rocket! I’m fortunate to have grown up in Southern California in the early 80s and got to watch Reggie play most nights on the local KTLA network that broadcasted Angels games in those days.
I've met Reggie a couple of times and spent maybe an hour with him. First impression is this is one of the strongest men that's ever lived. Lasting impression is Reggie is a hard hard man
I remember this game. And it seemed such a bad idea to let him go but truthfully 1982 was the only truly great year he had after leaving New York.
You’re right. But the Yankees still should have re upped him in 1981-82 so that he could have ended his career in New York. George Steinbrenner later admitted that not re signing Reggie was the biggest mistake he ever made as Yankee owner. 1982-94 was another dark chapter in Yankee history. They had Mattingly, Winfield, and a lot of others who passed through town and took George’s money, but produced little.
He had a fantastic first year and then started decline after that. That's why the Yankees didn't resign him. He wanted more years then they were comfortable with.
@@frederickrapp5396he was a yankee for the 81 season
New Angel and former Yankee, Reggie Jackson, returns to Yankee Stadium, and blasts a home run, into the right field upper deck off of former teammate, and starting pitcher Ron Guidry.Jackson rounded the bases to a standing ovation and received a curtain-call after he returned to the Angels dugout. A memorable moment. 3-1 Angels!!!
I was there! Classic baseball moment!
silver shield night amiright? stan's sports bar went off that night~
I was there. 12 years old. Crowd chanting Steinbrenner sucks, Steinbrener sucks, Seinbrenner sucks. It was a crazy atmosphere. I think for the most part, Yankee fans loved George.
For the most part they did. It was the period from '82-95 that they felt he was keeping them from a title. I guess they were somewhat proven right while Gene Michael built the late 90's dynasty.
i was there - had forgotten the rain - an exciting game, lead went back and forth - mumphrey won it - everyone sang take me out ta the ballgame & god bless america afterwards at stan's sports bar across the street - it was silver shield night, proceeds to police widows - PACKED to the rafters~
The future dynasty at the time almost got gutted in 1995. George was ready to trade Rivera to the Mariners for Felix Fermin. A shortstop who hit a career .259. Michael put a stop to it.
I was there as well....12 years old....I was jumping up and down when Reggie crushed that guidry fastball....only time in my life bring a Yankee fan(now 43 years) where I almost stopped being a Yankee fan when George let Reggie go to Cali
Were you also born in 1970
Great trot ! fast, serious, he was amazing
Guidry later said something like "it was the most fun I had all night."
Loved Reggie as an Angel also!!!
I remember this very very well. I was a senior in HS and watched this whole game. Atmosphere at the stadium was beyond electric. I initially thought Reggie looked weird in that Angels uniform. As soon as he hit that pitch it was pure bedlam. I was rooting for Reggie to hit one out the whole game. Sure glad he did. Steinbrenner was a fool for not bringing Mr. October back. This was the beginning of a very dark age and long slide downward for my Bronx Bombers. Reggie ushered in the first WS Championship in Game Six of the 1977 Fall Classic. He also ushered in the downward slide that would not be righted until that night in October, 1996.
Angels were very good in 82.
I was at this game....REGGIE!!!
didja gota stan's sports bar after?
Ed Young...most definitely
everyone was singing take me out ta the ball game ... then god bless america ... great night~
That was a mighty blast and just like Reggie to fulfill the most dramatic thing you could conjure up in your mind ! He was awesome.
Reggie should have retired as a Yankee. Even Steinbrenner admitted he made a mistake not re-signing Reggie. I still have 5 un-opened Reggie chocolate bars in a sealed cool place in my basement. Reggie WAS awesome !
ExclusiveLM OMG, open up those Reggie Bars!!
Daniel Kelegian No way. One day I'm selling those bars for BIG money Daniel.
ExclusiveLM LOL! What type of mechanism do you have them stored in??
ExclusiveLM LOL!!!
Only Reggie could hit a homerun against Guidry at his first game back at the stadium since signing with the Angels and get a standing ovation from yankee fans so much he takes a curtain call to even more applause from Yankee fans. Only Reggie... Has anyone else in history taken a curtain call from the visitors dugout and received applause ? Don't think so
Guidry actually clapped into his glove when Reggie hit that shot!! ROFLMAO 😂...Mad respect...
That f'n swing and bat flip!! Gotta love it!
Reggie Jackson Was One Of a Kind.
I remember watching this live on tv with my dad in 1982. It was very dramatic, but you’d expect that with Reggie, who should have finished his career as a Yankee. I believe that George Steinbrenner later admitted that not resigning Reggie in 1981-82 was the biggest mistake he ever made. I tend to agree.
I'm surprised Frank Messer was so surprised at the ovation Reggie got. Yankee fans knew George shouldn't have let him go and they appreciated what he had done in winning 2 World Championships. They knew what time it was even if Messer didn't.
I was at that game with my father.. It was raining cats and dogs all night that night but that ball flew out in an instant. Only Reggie..
i remember the blast - and the yankee win, but not the rain. memory is like that~
@@edyoung9374 He's right , it was raining cats and dogs. My dad stepped in a poodle
The curtain call is hilarious and pure Reggie. Didi got one in Anaheim earlier this year so I guess it's all even.
Those were Yankee fans in Anaheim, calling out Didi.
Instead of throwing away money on Ken Griffey Sr. and Dave Collins after the '81 season, it would have made more sense for the Yankees to re-sign Reggie to a three-year deal, and they could have if Mr. Steinbrenner hadn't run Reggie out of town.
That's 100 percent correct. Griffey turned out to be a pretty good signing; Collins was bad, real bad, but he just wasn't a Yankee type player.
Eh, I don't think it would have made much of a difference; Reggie had that big year in '82, but the Yankees finished 16 games out and as great as Reggie was, he's not making up that difference by himself. After that he was pretty badly washed up in '83 and '84, with his truly terrible 1983 coinciding with the only season in that three year stretch where the Yankees were somewhat close to first.. The only year I can see him making a difference would be 1985, where he was somewhat better than Winfield and Baylor, and had he replaced either of them maybe New York makes up the two game difference with Toronto.
AJ Taylor Playing on the West Coast kills your power numbers, look at Pujols and Hamilton as prime examples. Reggie's regression probably would've been less pronounced if he was able to play on the East Coast for a few more years.
delv213 Maybe playing in Anaheim instead of Yankee Stadium hurt his power numbers by a little bit, but not by enough that he would have been a much better player over those years. For his career, Reggie homered once per every 16.4 at-bats at Yankee Stadium...and once every 17.5 In Anaheim. In his terrible '83 season, he hit .193 with 7 homers at home, and cranked it al lthe way up to .195 with 7 homers on the road.
I think Reggie's real problem was that he was in his late thirties in this period, and it's generally an unkind time for sluggers. If anything, getting out of New York probably helped his legacy a little bit by virtue of his not being around to serve as a target for public and ownership dissatisfaction when the team fell away from contention beginning in '82.
delv213 It's always been that way. Just look at how Walter Alston had to remake the Dodgers once they got to Los Angeles in 1958, and the same was true regarding how the Giants had to be remade at the same time when they got to San Francisco. Alston won World Series titles in 1963 and '65 with pedestrian offenses, something that finally caught up to them in 1966. Then there was the case of the best player on those 1980s Yankee teams, Dave Winfield. For eight years, he had the double whammy of playing in San Diego, where the ball carries even worse than it does in Los Angeles, with the 17-foot high wall they had in San Diego when Winfield played there. (The inner HR fence there was not built until after the 1981 season.) How the Dodgers became the first team to have four players with 30+ HR in the same season (Cey, Baker, Garvey, and Smith in 1977) is somewhat of a mystery, just given how poorly the ball travels in all of the stadiums in California.
And as for Reggie, except for 1969, which was an expansion year, he never hit 40 HR in any one season because of where he played for most of his career. And the fact that he hit 563 HR, and another 18 in post-season, was truly remarkable because he played 14 of his 21 seasons on the west coast, nine in Oakland (1968-'75 and 1987) and five in Anaheim (1982-'86). If he had played much of his career at Yankee Stadium, or somewhere like Detroit or Chicago (either at Wrigley or Comiskey), who knows how many HR he would have hit. I believe Winfield would have hit at least 600 if not for having played eight years in San Diego, and I think Reggie could have made a run at the career record if he had played in better surroundings for a slugger. But he wouldn't have won five World Series rings, either, so it was a trade-off of some sort.
I was at the game down the RF line. It was a cold, rainy night. Reggie struck out in his first at bat and the place went crazy. Then, he hit the HR in his second AB and the place went even more crazy, chanting Reggie until the curtain call. (I was at the Yankee - Angel game a couple years ago in CA and Didi got a curtain call after hitting a HR from all the Yankee fans in Anaheim)
Even to this day the Yankee fans are still chanting his name.
Reggie was the man
i hated George Steinbrenner for years after letting Reggie Jackson get away. It took the Yankees winning the 1996, 1998 and 1999 World Series for me to finally forgive George Steinbrenner.
Bill DJ ...same way we felt in OAKLAND IN 1975 ! Reggie Jackson absolutely was “ the straw that stirred the drink “ in Oakland and NY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Rings and all back 2 back Mind you ! ( even a rare 3peat in Oakland and if Charlie O’ didn’t ruin that dynasty, they may have won a few more Rings ! ). I’m now 57 and remember so well 😘
I remember this game. This must not be the TV broadcast, because I don't hear Rizzuto or White. If I remember right, they reacted like a Yankee hit a homerun, and that video doesn't quite get the reaction. I believe a Steinbrenner Sucks chant followed.
Reggie said in his book the fans started that chant after the home run.
Was fortunate to see Reggie and Wally Joyner hit back to back homers, April 18, 1986, first inning. Was the start of the Wally Joyner craze and seeing Reggie was awesome!!
reggie was the best money ball player in the last 50 years flat out,he did not need juice to put a baseball in the upper deck 5 world series rings from 68-87 reggie never played on a team that did not play at least 500% ball are better thats how you spell WINNER
Reggie had 5 rings, and was the best clutch hitter in baseball when the money was on the line. He’ll always be Mr. October.
Reggie is a Hall of Fame Player!!!
Steinbrenner must've hated his life after Reggie hit this homer.
the yankee win that night mighta taken some of the sting out - they were in the strike-shortened playoffs a year later, but the magic had dissapated~
spinner90 that's gotta be fucking painful to watch
@@edyoung9374 This was 1982, the strike was a year prior, 1981
saw that on TV.....flair for the dramatic
I was there. Crowd chanted "Steinbrenner sucks!" after the home run. Most people in the stands assumed Guidry threw a meatball.
It was a slider that hung, but the Steinbrenner sucks chant was priceless.
I remember the fans messed with him at times when he was a Yankee but we damn sure missed him when he was gone!
He really was the straw that stirred the drink, I know a lot of Yankees took exception to that like Nettles and Munson and even Panela at some point got tired of the act, but when they were winning they were the best team in baseball and he was a large part of it. He thrived on pressure and was just a fun time to be a young Yankee fan.
I saw Mr. October’s 500th dinger in ‘84. Rather, I was in attendance. The ball he hit into the RF bleachers seemed to be traveling at the speed of light. He received an ovation of course, but that was rather muted, inasmuch as it was the only run the Halos scored in a 10-1 loss. Bud Black was on the hill for KC.
The greatest postseason hitter ever
That's the radio broadcast feed over the picture with John Gordon, who was the fourth voice of the broadcast crew on radio (he had replaced Fran Healy) at the start and Frank Messer barely with time to settle in and make the call.
+epaddon I liked John Gordon. He was on the Yankees broadcast team for three years and then had a long career broadcasting for the Twins.
@@OliveOyl12590 It did strike my ear at first hearing, thanks for defining that it was the Detroit native who was gold from the plains, when he worked with Herb Carneal on 8-3-0, WCCO.
Man, talk about a hanger! I miss Reggie!
no juice needed
he was on juice.
@@infoguy1978 How do you know that?
Likely amphetamines though. Everyone was taking them. Including Hank Aaron. Greenies were common AF. So let's chill with the piety over eras...everyone has tried to get a competitive advantage.
God damn what a legend. Steinbrenner should have never let him go.
No, Charlie Finley shouldn't have let him go.
He did.....because he waned Billy Martin back........
Power!
Reggie Jackson is a baseball legend. hit 144 home runs in 5 years with NY Yankees 1977-1981
Crushed it.
Reggie Jackson is the man and forever a legend
Love Reggie.... "Mr October"
Reggie in 1982 with the Angels... .275 39 hr 101 rbi
Reggie's last great year in baseball.
I remember watching on WPIX and I was going nuts. Then I came to and was dour because Reggie wasn’t in Pinstripes.
Reggie just used to CRUSH the ball!!
He hit so many laser HR's. Sheer power.
wow he drilled that thing..classic reggie
This guy, and the 1st pitch... sheesh! 😅🙏🏽💪🏽
One of the greatest travesties in the history of major league baseball. George not re-signing Reggie. Reggie was still good and relatively healthy for another 3-4 years after he left New York. A young Mattingly, Winfield and Reggie together in that lineup for a solid 2 or 3 years im sure the Yankees would have done a lot better in those years, that lineup would have been deadly. George himself says it was his biggest regret as an owner not bringing back Reggie.
Amazing....
Reggie had the kind of power naturally that Bonds needed steroids to achieve. Reggie was a big, strong man, but he also had that 'pop' in his bat. The ball just exploded off his bat.
+mikem987 ..Absolutely right! Reggie did NOT need all the shit Bonds,Sosa and that other asshole, Mark needed! He was MIGHTY!
Nicky Depaola
Reggie also knew how to elevate his game at the most dramatic, climatic moment. True superstar player. For their homeruns, Bonds, Sosa nor McGuirre had the type of epic moments that Reggie had.
Yep Reggie was able to rise to the occasion over and over again because he was a true out and out competitor with superstar ability!
Last great season of Jackson's career: .275 BA, 39 HR, 101 RBI.
Damn... UPPER DECK shot!
That was a classic Bill Webb directed homerun shot where the ball majestically flying though the air was captured in all its glory.
REGGIE!
Omg that is a giant shot
What a Homerun‼️
guidry really grooved that one for him.
That pitch looked like it screamed "HIT ME".
and so he did !
And notice the look he gave the catcher, as a way of saying "Thank you", after crossing the plate.
Tom Quinton I thought the same thing. Almost like it was agreed to give him something to hit.
I doubt that, since the score was 2-1 Angels in the seventh. He just tried to get ahead in the count.
Reggie Jackson/Mr. October for President!
He should have been a Yankee till he retired
Frank Messer & John Gordon.
Both Messer and Gordon had previously been Orioles broadcasters who each worked a World Series Championship season (Messer in 1966, Gordon in 1970).
Uppet deck!
Reggie was the only player I ever saw who could strike out 4 times and you still felt like you got your money's worth.
Where has Frank Mercer been? Reggie made the Yankees 2x WS champions.
I love thiiiiiiiisss, sweet revenge !!! 😊⚾
Reggie,Nettles,Goose,Murcer,Randolph,Davis,Mattingly,Gamble,Martin,Pinella,Guidry,Dent,Pagliarulo,Balboni,
Henderson,Winfield,Rizzuto,Bill White,Messer,Steinbrenner,Stick Michael,Yogi,Watson Jesus Christ I can go on and on
Reggie is the only player in the 500 home run club that never hit at least 30 home runs in consecutive seasons.
The Yankees' problems in the 1980s really began when Gene Michael was removed as general manager after the 1980 season to replace the unjustly fired Dick Howser as manager. Considering the brilliant job Stick did rebuilding the Yanks after being appointed GM again in 1990, the Yankees very likely would have won at least one World Championship in the eighties if Gene Michael had remained their general manager after the 1980 season.
Funny you mention the possibilities of the Yankees having an 80s World Championship. The Rick Monday home run in Game 5 of the 1981 NLCS still leaves a scar from my childhood. If the Expos could have somehow managed to win that game and meet the Yankees in that series, I think the Yankees would have crushed Montreal in 1981. That should have been your 80s World Championship, but it was not to be.
It's also quite possible the Yankees and Expos would have been in the 1994 World Series if there had been a 1994 World Series.
It's so funny how the best chances the Expos had to get to the World Series were in the wake of strike shortened seasons. I really wanted that matchup in 1981 and it would have been the matchup in the never was 1994 Fall Classic. If that happened, the Expos would have had a new downtown ballpark and D.C. would still be looking for an expansion team.
OliveOyl12590 The Expos' big mistake was moving into Olympic Stadium back in the seventies. They would have done better to stay in Jarry Park a few more years, then move into an actual major league ballpark paid for by Expo owner Charles Bronfman.
DaveDaShrubber I've never seen Jarry Park. I've only seen Olympic Stadium and it just had a dark, unwelcoming feeling to it.
Reggie-Reggie-Reggie
Yankees foolishly let Reggie go...and fail to make playoffs for next decade and a half. Not a coincidence.
They let him go one year too soon to be honest. Reggie had a great season in 1982 but the next few were kinda forgettable.
That pitch was straight down the middle. The worst major leauger would've parked that ball.
How far was that homer?
I don't think he grooved one. It was 2-1 Angels at the time so the outcome was in doubt. But that he would be applauding is no surprise. I think most Yanks felt that George should've kept Reggie. In early 82, when this game took place, it was already plain to see that George had planned poorly in the off-season. The team was already in turmoil, they weren't scoring runs, the fans were pissed, and I think that was Gid's way of saying, "Yeah, we could use some of that". George did deserve it,
uh...Ali fought Holmes in 1980 (October 2 to be exact)....Ali was already retired!!!
Who was talking before Frank Messer ? I don’t recognize that voice
John Gordon, the fourth voice in the Yankee radio booth from 1982-85. After a demotion to pre/postgame only in 86, he left and joined the Twins broadcast crew in 87.
Reggie Vision
Guidry and Jackson are close friends. Guidry simply gave his friend a meatball knowing good and well what would happen.
No show boating... he just rounded the bases like a true professional.... act like you been there before.....
“Revenge is a dish best served out of pinstripes.”
I still miss Reggie, miss Messer, White, Rizzuto... Not the same anymore, I try to watch and I don’t recognize the game I loved so much. I can’t listen either the Sweet sounds of awesome announcers who knew the game replaced by know nothing blowhards like Michael Kay. Anyway I remember that game, I was 12 and cheered from home when Reggie hit that too. I think it was the first and last time I ever cheered for a Yankee Opponent, and boy did I Cheer 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeap that's right jackson was good
Back when Yankee fans had class.
