Reggie Jackson

Five World Series Rings and a handful of successful ventures - now that’s a Wildcatter!

Jackson struck out more times than any player in Major League Baseball history…but you can call him MR. OCTOBER!

  • Appeared in many films and tv shows during the offseason, including Richie Rich, BASEketball, The Benchwarmers, MacGyver, and Malcolm in the Middle.
  • Inspired and endorsed his very own video game, Reggie Jackson Baseball, on the Sega Master System.
  • Upon induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, his number (44) was retired by the Yankees. The Athletics later also retired his number (9) in 2004.
  • His passion for antique automobiles lead to a chain of dealerships throughout California.
  • Became one of the most prominent traders of sports memorabilia, utilizing his vast network of contacts.

“I don’t mind getting beaten, but I hate to lose.”

“I do everything as honestly as I can. I give all I have to give. But I don’t let people get in my way.”

-Reggie Jackson
