Yankee Stadium Legacy: #52 Reggie Jackson


Reggie Jackson has always denied the "straw that stirs the drink" comment but we as fans cannot let it go, true or not. Jackson was a sensation on and off the field for the Yankees as he brought two World Series to the team and four postseason appearances in his five years as a Bronx Bomber. In 1980 Jackson hit 41 home runs, drove in 111 RBI's, and finished second in the American League Most Valuable Player Award voting for the Yankees.

52 days until Yankees Opening Day

  1. I met Reggie last year while working at the Tampa Bay Rays spring training complex, I was working in the PA box and he came in to get a better view of the game (they were playing the Yankees). He stayed the entire game and had full conversations with the PA guy and I. Awesome experience.
