Reggie Jackson 1993 Hall of Fame Induction Speech

Reggie Jackson earned the nickname Mr. October for his World Series heroics with both the A's and Yankees. In 27 Fall Classic games, he amassed 10 home runs -- including four in consecutive at-bats -- 24 RBIs and a .357 batting average. As one of the game's premier power hitters, he blasted 563 career round-trippers. A terrific player in the clutch and an intimidating cleanup hitter, Jackson compiled a lifetime slugging percentage of .490 and earned American League MVP honors in 1973.

YES! October 18, 1977: As a lifelong Reggie fan, that day was my version of baseball nirvana. My voice is still hoarse from screaming at the tv that day. My utmost respect to Burt, Elias and Charlie; Reggie was just locked in that day; they never stood a chance.

Mr. October was the MLB of the 1970's. As a kid in the 1970's Reggie made the game fun for all of America to watch and see his greatness throughout his quest as a professional. Reggie Jackson was a winner everywhere he went. Still have a hard time imagining 1976 and Mr. October as a Baltimore Oriole. It just did not look right. Reggie's Hall of Fame speech was remarkable just like his career. Reggie Jackson is even a greater person in real life. One of the greatest business minds of all time. Thanks for all the great memories over the last 55 years R.M.J. aka Mr. October !!!!!!!!

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

Reggie was an important component of the NY Yankees 77-78 championships, but he should have gone in as an Athletic. Those Oakland A's teams were tremendous.

[@spryfolII]

I agree. But I think Reggie did it for 2 reasons. 1.Cache. It just means more economically. 2. The Yankees took good care of Reggie when he was there. The winning, the media storm, the fans. He had to do it. But he made his bones as a Oakland A's mamonth. The BIG piece in the middle of that lineup and those A's teams were no joke. They succeed my Orioles and became a most worthy Champion. A team that you didn't cry if your team got beat by them. The A's and Orioles had a intense rivalry in those days and played some epic playoff games. The Birds were more expeienced in 71, but everyone could see the A's were coming and had to be seriously dealt with. After getting by the Tigers and winning their first Championship in '72, it was Orioles vs the A's in '73 and '74 for the Pennant. The Birds tried like hell, but by that time, once the A's got that first one, you had to be next to perfection, because the A's had so many ways to beat you. Probably the most "complete" team of my lifetime. Late 70's Yankees, the Joe Torre Yankees, close behind. No mistskes could be made, especially when the game was on the line. Thats where a Reggie pays off. He thrives on it and in it, you walk Jackson in a tie game in the 8th or 9th no matter. Don't play with fire. I learned that lesson right on a mound. Quick story. I'm 12 in a L.L game. 7th inning (only 7 in this league) Bases loaded no outs. I strike out 2 straight on my curve in the dirt. So the Big Bopper comes up. My catcher runs out to the mound. Asked me "how da f--- we gonna get him out"? I said give him 1 fastball and nothing more. Then we give the soft stuff. I'd rather go out like that, then with him standing at the plate like Reggie. Catcher says "I can dig it" ok. First pitch soft barely crosses the plate. Ball 1. Catcher runs back to the mound. Dude...you're playing with fire.. Throw that fastball. Ok. Next pitch, POW! And he stood there just like Reggie. Quick, violent bat drop n all. I didn't even turn around. After the game he came up to me, and I had to ask. How did you know I was coming back with the same soft stuff. He said..."It happens all the time. Its a ego thing...When you catcher came out and told you to throw that fastball, when you said "ok" it was a ya ya sure sure "ok" and not the I'm gonna strike his ass out right now "ok" I knew right then, without a doubt you were coming back with that soft stuff, and I dug in and waited so I could catch it just right". He said, listen to your catcher. He's in the box with me. He can feel what I'm doing. I could see it right then. How the Big Home Run hitters did it. They played egos and wait for the time. That was Reggie all the way. He influenced that kid from watching and listening.

[@mikeikeda1208]

The A's treated him poorly after his retirement. He couldn't even get a pass to the games. A lack of respect on their part.

[@WilMars-rr1ny]

Yeah he could but REGGIE JACKSON made a tremendous impact on the whole Yankee franchise! The Yankee Brand of today was built on REGGIE JACKSON's back!.... MR. OCTOBER!!!!!

[@wilmars9316]

REGGIE only needed 5 years to become an all time great Yankee because he was already an all time great and future Hall Of Famer before he came to New York. JACKSON wouldve gone to the Hall Of Fame whether he was ever a Yankee or not. I estimate REGGIE lossed obout 60 homeruns coming to the Yankees dealing with BILLY and STEINBRENNER. JACKSON already a great postseason performer before New York but cemented his already superstar legendary status as MR. OCTOBER as a YANKEE! REGGIE JACKSON made the Yankees great again! And delivered back to back World Series Championships blasting 7 WORLD SERIES HOMERUNS in the process! The Yankees dont win those titles without REGGIE JACKSON! In just 5 seasons JACKSON led the Yankees to 4 division titles, 3 pennants and 2 world championships which wouldve been 3 if STEINBRENNER wouldve just left REGGIE alone. And a case can be made that REGGIE was not only the WS mvp of 77 but of 78 also. REGGIE JACKSON made himself just as great a Yankee as he was an Athletic! He could have gone in as either one but make no mistake REGGIE JACKSON EARNED the right to enter the Baseball Hall Of Fame as a NEW YORK YANKEE!

[@mikeandrews2851]

I never followed baseball anymore when he left. I was a Yankee season ticket holder in 77 and 78. People should remember that some of the dumb ass Yankee fans used to boo Reggie during the 77 season.Even though he was hitting home runs left and right. Until the playoffs came, people than realized how good this guy really was and then loved him! I never in my life saw a better clutch player than him. Every time fans would stand up and yell Reggie-Reggie he would put the ball out of the stadium. Some people say that Mantle was like that. It just was unbelievable!

Reggie, I was a kid when you came to the Yankees. If you had come out and clarified the “straw” comment, I would have changed my opinion of you as a Yankee…damn…wish you had done that one thing. Why didn’t you make that clarification?

[@vccstudents]

The problem between Billy and Reggie is Billy didn't want to be told who the Yankees should sign as a free agent. Billy wanted a right-handed batter in Joe Rudi to compliment Thurman Munson. The Yankees were already overloaded with left-handed batters in Mickey Rivers, Chris Chambliss, Graig Nettles, and Oscar Gamble, plus Rudi was a better outfielder. There was also animosity because George took Reggie to lunch at the 21 Club in Manhattan. Billy argued, "When did George ever take me there? I only won two pennants in a row." Billy also went on to say he had more trouble with George than he ever did with Reggie, and George himself eventually ran Reggie out just like he forced Billy out the first time. It would take years for the Yankees to start winning again and in the post season after these three were separated. I agree. Reggie should have spoken a little kinder of the deceased and not aired laundry.

[@WilMars-rr1ny]

REGGIE WAS RIGHT!!!!

[@jamesdavis6036]

This is the same guy who came to the Yanks In 77 & disparaged the Captain Thurmon Munson by saying, " I'm the straw that stirs the drink." Then when the slow Jim Rice gets a double out of a single because Jackson was having a cup of coffee in right field, Billy Martin threw him out if the game rightfully so. The next day he tells the reporters Martin was a racist. Chris Chambliss, Mickey Rivers, Roy White & Willy Randolph came to Martin's aid & denied Jackson's charges. Those guys never liked Jackson. How does everyone forget this stuff.

[@vccstudents]

@@jamesdavis6036 Reggie has tried to pat himself on the back by going on Howard Stern and disparage Billy. Reggie needs a little humility. You don't speak ill of the deceased, but I will say this. However, Had the Yankees gotten Joe Rudi instead of Reggie, that would have backfired on Billy. Rudi was injury plagued in '77, had a respectable '78, but was pretty much injury plagued the next four years and done by '82.
