Not quite....but close enough.

On Oct 16th, Reggie hits a HR in his last AB in the 5th game.

In the 6th game, Reggie Walks in his 1st AB.

Then he proceeds to hit his dramatic 3 consecutive HR's (each on the 1st pitch, off 3 different Dodger pitchers).

Season ends.

Reggie's 1st AB in the 1978 season is a HR.


Thanks guys, it was fun.

And to make it even better, at least the first four were all one swing at bats, if memory serves.

That's correct....Thurman Munson and Reggie hit back-to-back HR's off Sutton. Reggie's HR was off Sutton's 1st pitch.

Reggie homered in the home opener in 1978 but not in the season opener.
