Reggie was one of my favorites but I recognize that his deficiencies kept him from being a top tier hall of famer. But he was, IMO, a great hitter for most of his career. His numbers suffer not just from strikeouts but also because he played in a pitcher dominated era and for much of his career played in an awful park for hitters. Interestingly his career road BA is higher than three time batting title winner Carl Yastremzki's road BA.
I also think Reggie got a little too much credit for clutch hitting. As great as he was in the World Series he was pretty bad in the playoffs.
