About Reggie Jackson
Jackson homered in the eighth inning of the 1978 division playoff at Boston; his solo shot provided the margin in a 5-4 Yankees victory. He then went 6 for 13 with two home runs in the ALCS. His 1979 Topps card, #700, carried the All-Star designation.
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.
