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.

If there was no free agency and players weren't greedy that A's team could've won 10 World Series in a row (they won 3 in a row, 72, 73, 74)...and you never hear of the Big Red Machine (a powerhouse in 1972) but didn’t capture its first World Series until Oakland sold off its team in 75.

But the owner was cheap, sold off his team and the stars like Reggie wanted the money.

There's a doc on the 70s Oakland sports teams, Rebels of Oakland.
