1977 & 1978 were two years as a Yankee fan I'll never forget. Reggie absolutely owned New York. Those three home runs in game 6 in 77 made him a living legend. 78 was a year Holywwod couldn't script.
I think the fans who remember the 1977 and 1978 Yanks are more fond of them than the 1996-2000 Yanks.
Reggie was never afraid to speak his mind....and we have always loved him here in NYC....🙏🏻
And we always will
I'm from Upstate New York & I'll never forget the impact Reggie had as a Yankee. He's the only player or Yankee to have played only five years in Monument Park. Enough said!!!!
Reggie was a real STAR ! He came through in the clutch. This is 2019, and there's only a handful of ballplayers, and no more, who are as great as Reggie.
Mad disrespect by the A's. It's a legit reason why he chose the Yankees. I dont blame Reggie at all.
Maybe he was a lousy assistant hitting coach ?
you rock Reggie! glad it worked out with NYY
As a Die Hard Oakland Athletics fan, don’t blame em’
MarianolikesGabbanelli’s 710 Absolutely ⭐️⚾️
Dodgers fan..i hated reggie back then. But over the years, i appreciate this man so much. He was fun to watch and baseball needs more reggie jacksons
Reggie Jackson was prime time before deon and also he was big time and changed the game, Reggie Jackson kept it 💯
Except for when it came to his real name. His real name is Reggie Martinez. Hes latino and should never be embarrassed of that!!!!
@@hookemdagawd5607 Martinez is his middle name.
@@MrDodger3222 you are correct, his full name is Reginald Martinez Jackson
Three dingers in one World Series game. Wow. It actually was 4hr in his last 4 at bats. The drama with Billy Martin was memorable to this day.
⁰
WOW!...DAYUM! Cant believe that did that to Mr. October Reggie Jackson! Thank goodness for New York Yankees
His home run trot was beautiful. He commanded every fans attention like a Mays, Mantle, Gibson, Koufax, Ryan, Ozzie. Baseball today doesn't have these kind of Superstars. It's a money grab and longterm contracts. How many players today are 5'ers ? Can hit with power, hit for average, throw, run, play defense. In today's game you hit .265, hit 35 HR'S, and drive in 100 Runs you'll make 15/18/25 million per year. It's a joke. A bad joke. In 20 years time there'll be no new HOF'ers. You play 10 years and the players become high net worth guys.
My all time favorite player. I missed the start of a Yankees-Orioles game and when I got to my seat, Reggie homered off Steve Stone. I didn't need to stay any longer.
Reggie was fun to watch! A's and Yankee's. Best series were for the Yankee's. Finley didn't pay him what he was worth and it seems like some other stuff with A's franchise, too bad. l'm an A's Fan. He is HOF! Whatever makes him happy.
I love Reggie, he was a beast for the Yankees when I was a little kid. I was 12 when he left the Yankees, and that ripped my heart out. I think Steinbrenner said that was his biggest mistake. It sure was up there along with the way he treated Billy, the greatest manager I’ve ever seen...
“Check your credentials?” That’s some cold sh*t !
VERY cold!
The Yankees have always been my team, but you couldn't have been a baseball fan in the early '70s and not have knowledge of what the A's were doing in the league. Campaneris, Bando, Tenace, Rudi, the original Blues (Vida and Odom), Holtzman, and Reggie and their near-dominance of the league was all anyone was talking about, even in New York. Then the shift occurred in '76 and the Dodgers became *the* West Coast team, while the Yankees became stronger and stronger each year Steinbrenner owned the team. George was about winning, but he respected those who brought value to the team and the city. Reggie was my first baseball hero and I will never forget those championships of the '70s.
I was in HS in New York when Mr.October was running on all cylinders.That was a glorious time in baseball.
The Yankees was more worthy of him.
Shame on Oakland love the car collection One of the best left handed swings in baseball 💪
what a perfect swing... and his home run trot..awesome..
Agree - Reggie's home run trot was a bonus for the fans.
I know a lot of people hate the Yankees but they do right by their former players. They keep them in the family. Smart to keep the legends around for the new ones to see and learn from. I think they are the only team that has done an old timers day every single year since the 1940s.
Wow! That upsets me very much. I watched and chose to watch the teams you were with. I certainly was a Yankees fan. You are the top of my greats.
I love this guy,he made our day in 77and 78.He is a Yankee.Mr October of the Yankees.⚾⚾⚾
In my heart, Reggie will always be a Yankee! My best years growing up were emulating Reggie's batting prowess as a young NY Yankee fan!
Loved watching him play. My fav Yankee of all time.
Tell it Reggie.
Charlie O cleaned house and kicked Reggie to the curb in 75. That's what I thought was the reason... Until I watched this.
Reggie is so smart. Amazing answer to this question.
The greatest screenwriter couldn't surpass this legend's story his press conference quote said it all , " I didnt come to NY to become a star I brought my star with me " . What a stage and time he chose .
It's so close, it should have been Reggie's call, and it was. The Yankees were his most iconic club, as Reggie in pinstripes defines the 1970s. And he played in more WS with the Yankees. But the A's had more years with Reggie, more good years with Reggie, and had a fair amount of Reggie-ness in their 1970s legacy. So it's close, and it's good Reggie made that call.
I loved Reggie with the A’s and with the Orioles. People forget he had 27 home runs and 91RBI in just 134 games with the Orioles. But when he joined the Yankees, Arthur ave, Grand Concourse and GWB were electric on game day. What he did that night in October of 1977 is still fresh in my mind⚾️
GREATEST ... MUHAMMAD ALI ... JACK JOHNSON ... JOE LOUIS ... REGGIE JACKSON ... BO JACKSON ... CHRIS JACKSON ... JIM BROWN.
As an A's fan I'm heartbroken Reggie is not rocking an A's cap on that HOF plaque, but I understand. Sometimes there are conflucts between the player and a team that no one knows about.
The Las Vegas A’s
Very few ex-players have anything bad to say about The Boss. Yes, he's had some dark moments in the Winfield days, but he more than made up for it afterwards. He personally kept Strawberry out of jail and paid the back taxes to the IRS Straw owed. I have heard literally a hundred "great guy" stories about Mr. Steinbrenner.
You can still get a 1977 & 1978 topps Reggie in good shape for under $20 maybe less
Always will be my favorite Yankee!! Thank you Reggie for all the great memories
Whitboy hated that...Reggie speaking about RACISM.
The Athletics showed absolutely no respect for Reggie. I'm glad he went in as a Yankee.
These days he wouldn't have that option. Thanks to Wade Boggs.
They didn't have the money. They made ammends and he's in the athletics hall of fame
@@Lord_Bibulous Players still have the choice but the HOF gets the final decision.
@@MrDodger3222 They have a say from the options the Hall Of Fame gives them. Or to have none at all.
Watched him play for NY, the A's and the Angels. Fantastic player and fun to watch all those years. Met him at a convention too and he was the nicest guy. Such a shame the A's treated him like garbage after all he did for that team.
Not Baltimore?
Interesting comments from an interesting man. I became a Yankees fan and baseball fan in the late 1970s because of Reggie Jackson. He delivered on the biggest stage when the pressure was on. Anyone who didn't like Reggie is because they were jealous of him.
Reggie and Bily going at it in the dugout.....Love you Reg!!!!
He went in as a Yankees bc it's the most storied franchise in sports. Also he had his greatest moment & baseball's greatest moment 3 straight Homer's off the first pitch off 3 diff pitchers to 3 parts of the park. The last homer was a monster to dead center 417 plus feet. That's why! He was great & a hof already in Oakland but became a legend & " mr October " with the yankees. To do this in front of the world 's biggest stage with a lot of pressure on his back he sealed his fate as one of the greatest ever.
I had no idea he had worked as a hitting coach for the A's and had then been terminated. And then been denied entry at a game...unbelievable.
There’s some irony here. Reggie chose to go in as a Yankee because he felt they were not racist. Ken Griffey Jr. refused to play for the Yankees because he felt they were racist. (When Ken Griffey Jr was a kid and his dad played for the Yankees, he was not allowed in the dugout but Graig Nettles was practicing with his son on the field.)
Reggie had his best year (1980) and best World Series (1977) with the Yankees, so to me it made sense at the time. That being said, I did not know the whole story.
Oakland messed up big time.
The best player from Philadelphia..........
E/C > W/C
The ticket taker pre emptied any possibility of any possible “don’t you know who I am?” from Reggie.
That's a disgrace man,Oakland A's should get him statue because he was part of 3 World Series Championships
A''S PAY UP.!
He's in the athletics hall of fame now. They made up up. Stienbrenner just gave Reggie money to in as a skankee.
Here's an idea. If and when the new Oakland A's ballpark is built, it should be named after him. That would be the ultimate tribute.
Reggie was more valuable to the A's than Rickey Henderson was. Rickey may be the face of the A's but Reggie was one of the main guys who put Oakland baseball on the map. They didn't even retire his number until 2004.
Reggie literally electrified New York with his playoff heroics. Not to mention the drama surrounding him in his time there. He was instrumental in winning those 3 pennants and 2 championships. The fans absolutely loved him and he knew it. Of course he had to go with a NY cap!!!
Dont hate on Reggie he is legend.
SPORTS ICON!
This man is a Oakland A's all the way Yankees are second in his heart trust me
Now you know.
Couldn't have been 1980, he was still playing for the Yankees then.
Everybody believes there employers cares .
Wake up all about your value to the company.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out .
This man is a Oakland A's all the way
I never liked Reggie as a player, but he is an honest, humble person, respects. Though I loved Dave Winfield, he was my best player with the Yankees. I loved his swing and stance.
True gentleman of class. ....
He hated being in Baltimore for that one season. He almost did not play. He's not a nice dude but a fantastic player.
I always think Reggie went to NY after Oakland. But he will sign Orioles stuff if people ask him.
His big pay day was in New York and the Orioles could not compete with that. Hank Peters the Orioles GM later said if he knew how crazy the salaries in Baseball would get the Orioles would have resigned him. Reggies Yankee contract was 5 years at 3.5 million which was a bargain looking in hindsight. The Orioles also lost some big players like Bobby Grich and Wayne Garland to free agency after the 76' season. Most of the old school owners did not want to buy into big money free agency during that time.
honestly with how bad Oakland had become they felt the full wrath of karma, safe to say its the curse of Mr October
Reggie OWNED baseball. Whether homeruns, a strikeout, or a single he was the most complete and exciting player ever. So glad he went in to the HOF as a Yankee!
Nah. He was a selfish hot dog
How pathetic u can get? One of greatest players in franchise history is treated like a nothing? George was a pita but I am sure Reggie always got the red carpet whenever he came back to Yankee stadium
Reggie had hella swag, and was hella clutch. He was smooth, and one of the smartest, highest IQ guys to play the game. My favorite player as a kid.
They do that type of stuff at The Warrior games too. I know NBA players and I went to a Rockets game with my brother unwillingly because of how funny they act towards blacks and the Rockets had just finished warming up and T-Mac was heading to the locker room and he saw me and said: "what's up man?" I said: "what's up bro!" He had his hand out and we shook hand and chatted and the ushers were screaming and running toward me saying: "Hey what are you doing?" I was turning around looking at these cats and said: "He said what's up to me!" They said: "No you can't talk to them or shake their hands!" I told my brother: "That's why I can't stand The Warriors organization, the players are cool but the owners are AH's and will always be AH's!"
Reggie's ego was always his problem. I was a fan of his since his rookie season. Also, as a businessman, I had an unsatisfactory situation with him, when he used his name for 'special considerations'.
He’ll always be an Oakland Athletic to me. He’s the A,s GOAT
This guy is a Puerto Rican.
frank robinson was a manager all the way back in the 70's. Don't say you couldn't get a job because you were black. People might not have liked your attitude.
Very good point, and as much knowledge as Reggie has about the game, he has always been somewhat rude, self-absorbed, and very difficult (except when the media wanted to talk to him). Reggie wasn't denied work because of his race. The same year he was inducted an ex-teammate of his, Don Baylor, became the manager of the expansion Colorado Rockies.
Since 1972 there have been 470 managerial openings in Major League Baseball....227 different people have been hired to fill those openings...10 black men were hired as interim managers when the manger was fired, but only 17 black men have been given full-time positions....Dusty Baker has been fired 3 times after winning 90 games or more. Oakland is still one of five teams yet to hire a black manager....So I'm going to go ahead and say Reggie may possibly be on to something here.
Oakland has never hired a black manager. Plenty of opportunities to do so. Plenty of guys who aren't "difficult" have been available. Yet they just haven't been able to find a qualified candidate I guess.
true. really great players are known to be notoriously bad managers. frank robinson was only medicore as a skipper. (won no pennants. much less a series). series winners never had much of a career on the field so they were the true students of the game. your comment is on point. reggie was well-known as a stubborn-egoist and not front office or managerial timber. it'd be like barry bonds, mike singletary, or michael jordan; they would put too much pressure on their players in an uncompromising way like they were towards themselves. but that is not teaching, or leading. you have to be able to get the best out of the 7th and 8th place hitter and the middle reliever too. like lasorda, weaver, stengel, la russa, martin, pat riley, phil jackson... and all those scrub infielders, and bench players, learned how to do.
I was about to say that. Reggie is a very intelligent person. He knows that blacks were getting jobs in baseball, maybe not too many front-office jobs, well before the late 80s early 90s. Reggie has never accepted the fact that some people find him overbearing. They don't resent him because he's black and overbearing, it's just the latter.
It’s interesting that he cares so much about personal slights, because he’s known to be one of the worst in terms of being disrespectful to fans who meet him. I’m not saying he’s evil or anything, just the classic negative celebrity interactions where he “big times” people. Which is fine and common, but surprising that he tells this story which is all about dignity and so forth.
Reggie will always be a Oakland A
In 1980, Finley's tenure as owner was ending, but his pettiness and vindictiveness was still there. Reggie fought with him over salary, Finley traded him before he could become a free agent. So those front office clowns who denied Reggie's entrance were doing this under Finley's orders.
He said 1988. Not 1980. He was still playing in 1980.
Not Finley's team in 1988.
I wonder if Whitlock told Mr October to stop pulling the race card?
I guess the Oakland A's fans don't matter
He should have gone in as an Oriole , that would have been great.
Shame on you Reggie Jackson for not picking to be in the HOF as a Oakland A's player
Reggie is not being totally honest and truthful. He said 1988 he was denied entry into a game? He retired as an A'S in 1987! What period then did he work as an assistant hitting coach? If anybody ruined the situation it was reggie himself trying to be the lead of everything. Remember now the A's went to the world series in 1988, 1989, and 1990. They didn't need reggie with his ego. And the A's did retire his number 9 jersey.
Reggie was great and spoke his mind but he was also a thin skinned Prima Donna.
Now I've heard everything Reggie Jackson pulling the race card he's one of the most loved baseball players of the 20th century
Love Reggie. Reggie will always be an Oakland A. The A's don't have the money that the Yankees have. Stienbrenner gave him money to go in a Yankee plain an simple. Fast forward to today though and he's in the athletics hall of fame. I guarantee today would be a different story and he goes in an athletic. The renegade was Charlie O not stienbrenner.
The Yankees picked up the tab for his steroid expenses.
REGGIE, JUST BUY A TEAM MAN! You didn't need those little odd 'assistant hitting coach' jobs ANYWHERE! Like you said in 1976 YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK!
of course he couldn't resist throwing the race card too bad
everything he said if true up to that point was fine.... but then.
oh well, his true "colors"
Reggie Jackson made a bad choice and retired as a yankee". I burn my Reggie Jackson Oakland jersey when he retire a yank.
Pulls the race card, while ignoring Frank Robinson, history, and logic itself.
Must be nice not to accept responsibility for your actions and just blame it on the skin color. Big Reggie fan, but stating the obvious-He burnt a lot of bridges in this career.
Reggie, Summer of Sam, 1977.....all due respect to the A's but Reggie is an all time Yankee. He really was the straw.
he Petty...long story short lol
