Misconception Number 1, the public always thought, 'Reggie has a massive ego; he's narcissistic, he's cocky, he needs everyone to look at him all the time,' because that's what the media told them. Wrong. I could handle the attention. I didn't let the attention affect my performance. But I never needed the attention.

Everyone has a story.

The difference between God and Reggie Jackson is that God doesn't think he's Reggie Jackson.

Reggie Jackson hit one off me that's still burrowing its way to Los Angeles.

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.
