A Reggie is one of the real Yankees by Jacko Connell for most baseball players election to the Hallof Fame is a dream. For some it is a goal. To an even smaller group it is a fulfilment of destiny. With the exception of Pete Rose whose banish. Rent from the game for gambling has made him ineligible for the Hall no player had Cooperstown .,As his destination More than Reggie Jackson. It was this guarantee of immortality that motivated Jackson,47, in a career of triumphs and turbulence. Sceptics say Jackson s Choice of a Yankee Cap on his plaque was designed to appease owner George Steinbrenner and help secure a position in the team front office which became official in March. Only five of Jackson s 21 major league season were As a Yankee 1977-81. He played the same number of seasons with the Angels 1982-86 an twice As Long for the athletics 1967-75 and 1987. Jackson understands however that his Persona blossomed in his years in new York. He has said he Felt that making it in new York was critical tothe larger than life image he wanted to create. It was As a Yankee that he received his nickname or. October the ultimate measure of respect in a game that has its championships decided that  a Way that links Reggie Jackson to the Yankees of their bygone dynasty Era when Many world series were played at Yankee stadium. The uniform feels different from any other Jackson said at an old timers Day gathering in 1991. It s special. You think of names babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Joe Dimaggio Mickey Mantle Whitey Ford Yogi Berra. These names make it special. Idon t know if it s cocky or makes me sound like a big Jerk but Reggie Jackson is one of those  at the most recent Yankees old timers Day two saturdays ago Jackson received an ovation surpassed in decibels Only by those Given Mantle and Dimaggio. Yes Reggie Jackson is one of those Guys. It is How he wants to be perceived rather than As one of Charley files a s of the Early 1970s, who won three consecutive world series and five Ameri can league pennants in a Row a record of dynastic Quality before their unconventional owner began to break up the team. A Jackson went to Baltimore Foric year 1976then took free agent Money from Steinbrenner and made an unsettling Impact on a Yankee team that marched commentary Rizzuto gets boost Cooperstown  A Phil Rizzuto s chances of getting into the Hall of Fame went soaring saturday with the addition of three new members to the veterans committee. The Hall of Fame announced that Yog Iberra pee wee Reese and Bill White have Bee added to the committee. J3erra and White Are close friends of Rizzuto a longtime broadcaster forthe Yankees following his retirement As a , the former Brook lyn1 shortstop is also known to favor Ritz Tutov election by the Veteran committee. Other members of the Rizzuto committee include Ted Williams another Rizzuto supporter Monte Irvin Stan Musial and Al Lopez. Berra and Reese replace Roy Campanella and Charlie Gehringer. To the beat set by Catfish Hunter Thurman Munson Craig Nettles Lou Piniella and Sparky Lyle. Black players on that Yankees team tended to blend into the framework few remarks came from stoic first baseman Chris Chambliss or detached Sec Ond baseman Willie Randolph while comments uttered by free spirited outfielder Mickey Rivers were not controversial into this mix came Jackson fiercely proud of his heritage and boastful of his intelligence 160 in. Munson a sour Man in life but deified in death took Strong exception to Jackson s calling himself the Straw that stirs the  but Jackson was precisely what he said he was. Noone could stir up things quite like Reggie. It is entirely appropriate of course that Jackson is the Lone inductee. His massive ego Wouldhave reduced any other inductee to a supporting role. Perhaps that s what Tore at Munson so much about Jackson. A lunch pail Guy he was resentful of the Champagne breakfast  word itself superstar increased in usage during Jackson s Era. It was the headline for sports illustrated article on Jackson during his most valuable player season with the a s in 1973.before then Star was a sufficient term to describe an outstanding  major league record is for striking out 2,597 time but be even did that with a flourish. One of his most memorable at bats was striking out against Bob Welch then a dodgers Rookie in game 2 of the 1978 world series. Reggie got even though when he homered off Welch in game 6 in leading the Yankees to another series  had a history of trouble with teammates. During the 1972 american league championship series when Oakland shortstop Bert campancs triggered a Brawl Between the a s and tigers for throwing a Bat at Detroit Pitcher Lerrin Lagrow Jackson criticized his teammate after the game. Not ing that Campanaris did not charge the Mound after flinging his Bat Jackson said campy did t showmen much. If you re going to throw a Bat you be got to follow it  years later Jackson scuffled with team mate Billy North on the floor of the clubhouse a Tiger stadium. He and Nettles argued loudly in a Bay area restaurant and nearly came to blows during team party to celebrate the Yankees winning the Al playoffs in 1981. Despite All that other images better represent Reggie s career nothing More so than rounding the bases after hovering three times on three pitches inthe deciding game 6 of the 77 world series to give the Yankees their first championship in is years. Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey clapped his hand against his Glove in appreciation of the performance. It is what Many of us did on sunday.
