About Reggie Jackson
Jackson's 1972 Topps cards included AL home run leaders #90 with Bill Melton and Norm Cash, fourth-series #435 and In Action #436, all listing Oakland. He batted .265 with 25 home runs that season. In the deciding fifth ALCS game against Detroit, he stole home for the tying run and tore a hamstring on the play. The injury kept him out of the World Series.
Reggie Jackson was a left-handed-hitting outfielder and designated hitter who played 21 major-league seasons. A 14-time All-Star, he batted .262 with 2,584 hits. He hit 563 home runs and drove in 1,702 runs, and his 2,597 strikeouts set the major-league career record for a batter. Kansas City selected him second overall from Arizona State in the 1966 draft; he debuted in 1967 and moved with the Athletics to Oakland the next year. He was a member of Oakland's 1972-74 World Series championship clubs and the Yankees' 1977-78 champions. In 1973 he led the American League with 32 home runs and 117 RBI, winning its MVP award unanimously and the World Series MVP award. Known as 'Mr. October,' he also played for Baltimore and California before returning to Oakland for his final season in 1987. He entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993 on his first ballot.
