He signed the album for my dad years ago, it it on my wall framed. so many awesome memories

Proud People! Both sides.

He said he loves the crepe suzzete but nobody noticed, then refused to say he loves crepes 😂

In a game that included home runs by HOFers Aaron, Bench, Clemente, Frank Robinson and Killebrew, it was Reggie’s mammoth blast that was the talk of the game. While his time in NY cemented his legend, it was this HR that brought him to the attention of the public.

Bill mi porta sempre dove non sono mai stato

You gotta love Reggie

Great Artist, forever and ever ! Rip Rick !

19 best album ive ever had played it to there was no grooves left

Wow, I'd never heard this version. Glad KZbin suggested it after my vid (I did a remix of the original version ten years ago). This version is great. That opening kicks!

Homerun distance calculations are not to be trusted.

Reggie’s feet were off balance when he hit that ball

Back when baseball was everything

Guess where the ball is...

for those of you who use the argument "yeah but he was strikeout king" let me just tell you that 19 of the 25 all time leaders in career strikeouts are in the HOF.............

Reporter: Reggie, I tell ya', that was quite a shot, that was quite a shot. Reggie Jackson: Thank you. Wait until you see what I've got for you the next three seasons. And you're not even going to believe the show you'll see in October of 1977. 😀

Remember watching this as a 9 year old kid. Still amazed 53 years later

The quickest bat flip of all time. 😮

Anyone listening to this in 2024, good on ya…you know where it’s at…Bunch of Ontario boys and Leon.

Lyrics by the late, great Vivian Stanshall.

So did Killibrew

Boog Powell dud it!

Off the light tower

The wind that night was 35mph blowing out to right field. That will give a fly ball some distance.

Why is this LP not available on Apple Music or Spotify?

That ball was “CRUSHED”! No doubt when it left the bat. If it wasn’t for the light tower the ball would have kept going. He had a great career, but especially with the Yankees. Ask the Dodgers… Mr. October!

To bad money took over the game , so gems like Tiger Stadium no longer exist and players jump from one team to the other with zero loyalty. I can probably still name 20 out of the 25 68 Tigers but don't know 3 from the current team

Big deal ! Reggie stands there looking at the ball , showing up the pitcher and thinks he is Babe Ruth or something . Reggie helped pave the way for arrogant ballplayers like Dave Winfield , Ricky Henderson and Roger Clemons .

Every player that ever came out of Pittsburgh was always high.

Doc

Those A's uniforms were great

Doc was on an LSD trip during this game. True story.

The beginning of Reggie’s legacy.

Rest in blessed Peace, my precious friend.

Every aspect of this is awesome. Where are the 231,978 constant stats that are usually on the screen and that fucking insulting, video game, strike zone overlay that is on the live broadcast? Disgrace.

Luis Aparicio was near the end of his stellar career in 71. I was surprised to hear his name.. He was short stop for my beloved 59 White Sox. He and Nellie Fox were a premier double play duo. He's still alive (2024) and 90 years old.

Johnny Bench called the pitch

His swing was absolutely amazing and sooo faaast

I seen it on tv when it happened!

Do you know what I love about watching old games? Just to see how unmanicured the field looks compared to modern MLB.

In '84, on TV, I saw Reggie hit one out of Tiger Stadium off Juan Berenguer. I don't know the distance but it cleared the roof. It seems like just a few weeks later the Tigers were again on national TV. Al Bumbry of the Orioles hit a line drive off Berenguer's head. A rough month for the pitcher but the Tigers ended up winning the World Series that year.

Damn, that was a shot.

Ernie Harwell said it was hardest 😮 hit ball he had ever witnessed

Reggie sure could turn on a ball.

I was watching when he hit it! Today’s announcers don't rate with the great announcers of yesteryear, like Curt Gowdy 👍

back when the players cared about the all star game - today all we have is ohtanie gambling on baseball - the dumb commissioner is only worried about sticky stuff - instead of the astros cheating and ohtanie betting on baseball - baseball is trash now

Damn, anything that fly’s that far should have a flight attendant serving drinks.

The pitcher's name was Doc Ellis.

I remember watching this on TV as a 10 year old.

I remember watching that blast when i was barely nine-yrs old in the then tiny Isle of Palms, SC...on our Zenith 20" console TV. I loved the A's back then with green and gold unis, with vests and white shoes.

The BEST bat drop in baseball history, perfectly whips it to the ground 😂
