    So enjoyed the Reggie Jackson documentary. It was thrilling to watch the NY Yankees World Series excerpts, and feeling the same exhilaration that I experienced years ago, as a diehard Reggie Jackson fan. Thanks so much for the memories. ❤❤

    Growing up a Dodgers and Angels fan we couldn't stand him, until he went to the Angels! Then he was awesome! He became a legend when he did the Wienerschnitzel commercial and the Naked Gun movie! We also used to buy his Reggie candy bar ! Reggie was and still is da man! 😎👍

    Reggie...there is a gentleness you display just how you explained your life past and present. I remember watching you play when I was a kid. And I enjoyed your super confidence then and how you handled yourself through the in your face racism. You are great Reg-gie!! You're right most don't like the truth. I enjoyed your documentary.

    Love Reggie. He's the best. Such a great person on top of his epic talent. Many forget he also hit the longest home run of all time other than maybe Mantle or Ruth whose shots are less statistically accurate. Remember that 3 home run game watching on tv. I remember trying to hit 3 in a softball game and when I did, I remember thinking, hey, Reggie did it. My happiest moment until I got older.

    As a former pro athlete from Oakland. I was in Montclair (Oakland Hill) Nice area decades ago. Saw him on the street said hello. He looked at me like, and? He knew who I played for. I never, ever talk down about any athlete. But he was the only a$$hole I ever met in pro sports that was extremely rude. So, the rumors are true. My close friends are Barry Bonds, Lott, etc. I've seen all of them treat people with respect.

      Yet again I see a story about what a nasty guy he is to people that just say "hello' to him.
      I worshipped him as a kid. Wore his jersey every day. My mom started calling me "Reggie".
      Now he's attributing every slight negative in his life to racism or as he says, "being colored'.
      He's a special kind of a-hole.

    I was lucky enough to be at Fenway Park when Reggie was playing in his last season, playing his last game at Fenway. It was an AWESOME experience. Red Sox fans usually hate the Yankees, BUT, we also recognize greatness. Reggie got a few standing ovations that day because he IS AWESOME. He was a terrific player and I respect that. Back then I had not yet been educated as to the horrible prejudice that had transpired against black people. Nobody should have to suffer through that kind of senseless hate.

    Reggie Jackson played for the ASU Sun Devils during the 1964 - 65 school year along with Sal Bando at 3rd base and Rick Monday in center field. I was fortunate to get to watch them play Grand Canyon College a few times. I believe the GCC team beat them one time. That was a big deal.
    Reggie went on to become one of the biggest stars in baseball. Yeah. Good memories.

    Reggie is baseball's all-time leader in strikeouts with 2597. Do you know how many times Joe Dimaggio struck out in his whole career? Only 368 times. Reggie was pretty much all or nothing. He was a fantastic World Series performer though. Maybe one of the best ever.

    Why are we being deceived that Reggie has never told his story...He recently participated in a book and documentary "Becoming Mr. October" in 2013.......Not the first book about him either. I love Reggie, despite the human faults we all have...but Reggie has always talked about himself and "The magnitude of (him)".

      He’s human and this has always been his demeanor. I’ve seen him be nice to kids and fans, I’ve seen him be rude. He was a winner and superstar in his game. Childhood seemed a bit rocky but I admire how he took care of both parents when he became wealthy. Do not discount the racism he faced it leaves a scar.

    The documentary was good but could have been great. It’s hard for to listen to a millionaire complain about his life experience why not lean more towards the opportunity that baseball provided him. Look at Reggie living high on the hog in Monterey Ca in his multi million dollar home cry me a River Reggie.

      I read his biography and he was not very well liked by teammates. Came across as a hot dog and quick tempered. And he used to throw teammates under the bus over and over again. He was very moody and very sensitive and hard to get along with. And very insecure but he was very forgiven and a great ballplayer. But he had trouble keeping friends and a very lonely lonely man.

      All true to which Jackson would admit. Yet he earned his accolades & became one of the legends of baseball! You know how hard it is to hit a baseball? And to perform on the biggest stage & win 5 World Series titles? Owes you nothing but gave us dozens of cherished memories whether a fan of the man or not!
      As significant a Yankee great as any one of them! Jeter's rings & longevity could never top #44's splash in the Big Apple! One of the most dramatic & compelling 5 years in Yankee history! Reggie Jackson was spectacular & THE most exciting player of his era bar none! Every at-bat was must see TV! Ask his peers & they'll tell you the same. Walk in his shoes 1st, then I'll cry you a river!

      @@lwmitcham You missed it Larry! "Cry me a river" back to you was to tell you it shows a lack of empathy to say he's living the life etc. The man overcame systematic racism & a tough relation with his Mom, and despite his abrasive tone & arrogance in how he celebrated himself, Jackson performed at the highest level for a decade & change. Listen to him today & his interviews are riveting! A much gentler man & more enlightened to how his behavior could've been handled a bit better as well.

      Reggie even finally admitted to the 1978 World Series Game 4 "hip swing" to Garvey in front of an audience, that swung the momentum & the Series toward the Yanks.
