  I was 10 years old in '77 . Still, the most electrifying performance in sports . Game 6 .

  Reggie’s performance in game 6 is the definition of being in the zone

  In his book Temporary Insanity, Jay Johnstone tells about the time Reggie offered him some help with his connections with car rental people at the airports. Jay thanked him and Reggie said "I don't have many friends but I can do wonders for them." Jay initially thought Reggie was kidding but afterwards he realized Reggie was being sincere while finding some sadness and loneliness in those words.

  The most beautiful thing in all of sports is to see REGGIE JACKSON hit a home run.

  I quit watching major league baseball when Reggie retired. Nobody could bring excitement to the game like he could.

  I never realized how Reggie grew up, rejected by his mother and all the racism... plus his dad was a bootlegger. That helps explain the bravado but beneath all that was a thoughtful, intelligent man. And he was such a gifted athlete.

  Fun fact: Reggie Jackson is the only member of the 500 home run club who never had back-to-back 30 home run seasons.

  Thanks for posting this. &nbsp;Reg-gie was my favorite baseball player. &nbsp;He was the definition of clutch and made many memories for many people.
