I forgot how good a defensive fielder he was. I guess his only weakness was that he didn’t hit for average. He ran, fielded, threw very well and hit for power.
He was at his peak in the opening months of 1974 and well on his way to a second MVP award when he got hurt in a senseless brawl with another A's player.
Never get sick of watching Reggie videos.
Reggie invented the epic bat toss that we see today
I never get tired of watching the All Star Game home run at Tiger Stadium

Pop ups in the Coliseum were often outs when they would've been out of play foul balls in most other stadiums.

Very good all around player in his time with the A's. He was somewhat underrated as a fielder. He had great speed and an arm as well.
He's also struck out more times than any other batter in history.
@@captainwaringeven his strikeouts were exciting 😮
Reggie was alot better defensive than the media ever gave to him and was more powerful than Mantle
He wasn’t bad defensively and he had a strong arm even with the Yankees. He usually caught what came his way. Media always remembers the screw ups.
damn rights his defensive skills were under-valued
Had more speed than they give him credit for too. Regularly stole 20+ bases in Oakland
What 🟢🟡O' Rei Pelé did it in the soccer ⚽️ 🏟
Reggie Jackson did it in 🟢🟡

Early in his career he had 9.6 in the 100 speed.. He was fast for a fairly big man.
Without steroids, Reggie Jackson hit the longest homerun I ever saw. Allstar game in Detroit. Not Mark McGuire or Barry Bonds...
Game 7 of the 1973 World Series against the Mets how about that bat flip
i love his 1971 ASG homerun that ball if its not should be in coperstown
I love the story.
Before the '71 ASG, Sal Bando told Reggie: "Whatever you do, don't strike out
and embarrass us".
Rick Wise- unfortunately known as "the guy traded for Steve Carlton"
mickey mantle call reggie the best slugger in mlb in the 1970's quite a complement from mickey and he should know he was one.
Mr.October
Reggie was Great. The woke people wouldn't like him. He's too Smart.
Were all the pitchers he was going up against on steroids also? Like all the pitchers bonds and mcgwire were going up against.
