Early Career
The most exciting home run hitter of his generation, Reggie Jackson was an established all-star before signing as a free agent with the New York Yankees in 1977. While on the Oakland Athletics between 1968 and 1975, Jackson was named an Baseball All-Star Game six times, and won the American League Most Valuable Player Award and World Series MVP in 1973.New York Yankees
However, it was on the New York Yankees that Jackson achieved his greatest feats. As part of the World Champion New York Yankees in 1977 and 1978, Jackson earned the nickname "Mr. October" for his heroics in the World Series in each of those years. In Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, at Yankee Stadium, Jackson clubbed three home runs, off of three different Dodger pitchers, all on the first pitch. Only one other player in baseball history—Babe Ruth—has hit three home runs in a World Series game. Throughout his time on the Yankees, Jackson clashed with manager Billy Martin and owner George Steinbrenner.Post-Career
A 2007 ESPN miniseries about the New York Yankees 1977 season, The Bronx is Burning, featured Daniel Sunjata as Jackson. After his retirement, Jackson became special assistant to Steinbrenner. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.-
