Reggie Jackson hit one off me that's still burrowing its way to Los Angeles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was strictly after hits when it came down to the Jackson 5. That's all I was concerned with.
My first ball I ever got from a Big League player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.
It seemed like I always did some great hitting in Brooklyn. The field there was close to the stands. Every time I started walking to the plate, I could hear the fans say, 'Here comes that man again. Here comes that man.'
Everybody's got a Reggie story.
Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.
You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.
I'm a California Angels fan because that's the first game my dad took me to see, and they stuck with me.
Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it.
The Houston Astrodome was kind of a tough field.
I'm tired of hearing people say 'Reggie Jackson needs New York, needs the media, needs the attention.' I've always gotten it whenever I wanted it.
