Long before he played for the New York Yankees, Reggie Jackson was “Mr. October”. From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , here is the 1969 Topps card of Jackson, his rookie card. Reggie was the marquee player on three consecutive World Series winning teams with the Oakland A’s in 1972, ’73 and ’74. After signing as a free agent with the Yankees, he led the Bronx Bombers to 2 straight titles in 1977 and ’78. In his career, Jackson was a 14 time all-star, AL MVP in 1973 and World Series MVP twice. He was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame in 1993 and had his jersey number retired by 2 teams, Oakland (9) and New York (44). He currently serves as a special advisor to the Yanks.
