Tuesday nite trivia ?

[tedzan]

Good ole Reggie Jackson, in his outspoken way, he made news this week......but, whatever you think of REGGIE, I don't think
he has ever "juiced" himself up with PED's.

Anyhow, here is a bit of REGGIE trivia......

With respect to hitting HR's, what unheralded record does Reggie have that no other ballplayer has ever achieved ?

Shot in the dark here, but I notice from his stats that he hit at least 14 homers in 20 straight seasons. Not sure anyone else has done that.

Hmmmm I'm guessing most one-dimensional bitter POS player with the most strikeouts ever?

[bigtrain]

Well he hit at least 100 home runs for three different teams. Has anyone else done that?

Yep, Darrell Evans and A-Rod did.

Edited to add: Thome, too. My bad.

Most homeruns at the All-Star break?

Five HR on five swings, he hit a HR on the first pitch of the next season, and the Reggie bars that the Yankees had given away came down on the field.

My favorite Reggie Jackson stat is that for his career he had more strikeouts than hits. I met him twice; what a db.

I think it was Nettles (maybe Lyle or Rivers) that said of the Reggie bar that you open it up and it tells you how good it is.

I once had the good fortune of having dinner with Dick Howser, then Yankee 3rd base coach, at a place called Thompson's Sea Girt House in Baltimore, which was frequented by the Yankees. The dinner was arranged by a fellow I shared an office with at the Justice Dept, who was related to Dick's wife. I was absolutely amazed at how candid Dick was in his comments about ballplayers. He said Reggie was one of the biggest jerks he had ever met, especially prone to flashing a wad of 100s at every opportunity.

I think that was Catfish.
