Reggie Jackson 1977 WS

Jackson is often remembered for his 3 HR performance in Game 6. He was walked in his first at bat. Then, he hit 3 Consecutive HRs off of 3 different pitchers each on the first pitch. Unbelievable.

What is sometimes forgotten is that in his last at bat in LA in Game five he hit a HR on the first pitch he saw.

So, in the World Series, in his last 4 swings of the bat he hit 4 HRs.

Took my father and daughter (age 6). She fell asleep during the game.

I wish I kept the stubs from the game.
