The Bronx Zoo is a great book about the '78 Yankees written by Sparky Lyle. Reggie was portrayed pretty much as an egotistical a-hole. Once he was in the on deck circle and reached down to be cool and one hand a foul ball and it tore off his thumb nail. Later he told reporters he saw some kids by the fence and was trying to protect them.

One superstar that actually delivered in the clutch, every time. Most people talk about his time with the Yankees and remember video replays of his antics with Billy Martin. By the way, Billy Martin was a 24 Karat A-hole of the greatest degree.

Reggie was a part of the coolest, hippest, baseball team in the history of MLB. The Mustach-wearing, uniform-changing Oakland A's were good enough the win 3 straight world titles. From Vida Blue to Blue Moon Odoms to Rollie Fingers to Catfish Hunter, they were the greatest show on the planet. That Reggie Jackson fit right in with the most entertaining show a ticket could buy.
