The great Mr. October! Check out ALL of Reggie Jackson's World Series homers! 

i wonder what happened to that ball

LMFAO

He MURDERED the Dodgers in the World Series, gaaalee. Hahahaha.

Say man. Given you brought up Koufax I'd like to ask ya opinion on something. Say Koufax never retires early and somehow manages to pitch into the A's vs Dodgers 1974 ws match up. Do ya think Koufax would've stood a chance against Jackson?

@@JamesDeanRivera It's a great question one in which theory would have been if Koufax was healthy. His pitched incredibly well with a painful arthritic elbow his last several years....now let's say he was healthy and hung around and had that juice against Reggie. I think it would have been epic and I think he would have gotten Reggie but......I wouldn't have been surprised if Reggie got him as well...leaving Lasorda counting even more Reggies rather than sheep. Great question and ohhh would have been great!

@@danielhuntington2116 well yeah. Remember Lasorda hadn't become the manager by the 74 ws. So it would've been Alston counting them Reggies lol

Only problem they’d get killed for going up against football and couldn’t do it mid week

They would still draw tv audience

Yes, I agree

Too bad they allowed the networks to call most of the shots.

Oh yes!!!!!

Would have loved to see bat flip on Bumgarner

@@nala3038 Tim Anderson is now the best at the bat flip

When you crushed em like Mr. October you can admire your work as long as you want.

Yup

Bumgarner comes to mind

Players got way more butthurt back then how do you have it backwards ?

He missed the 1972 World Series against the Reds because of a knee injury in the ALCS against the Tigers

But nothing like this or when he dusted Welch to puncutate Game 6 the next year.

@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Pretty sure he won World Series MVP in Oakland.

@@michaelleroy9281 Pretty sure the ALCS happens in October, stupid.

Our favorite Yankee Mr. October ⚾️ thank you, Billy

May 18⭐️ my birthdate too ( 1963) ✊

Mine too

​@@GratefulInRecovery I said Damn what a great 👍 player

So she is a Dodgers fan?

Because Bucky’s home run tied them up and it was so unexpected. Reggie had an epic Series in 78 too.

@@deneenjeffries2768 put them up 3-2 REGGIE made it 5-2

@@bigt5699 And they won that game 5-4 so realistically Jackson's homerun was the deciding run that won the game.

@@Mistachill yeah I know I was correcting the previous post that dent didn't tie the game he put them up one Reggie made it 5-2 and I know they won 5-4

True fans recognize the importance of Reggie's home run in the "Bucky Dent game."

He also hit multiple HR's in ALCS series' against the Orioles, Royals, and Brewers. Dude was just an absolute beast in the post season.

Lasorda the genius!!! 😮 Y did you keep pitching to him? Lasorda :”Why do I keep pitching to him? What kind of a 🤬 question is that? Why do I keep pitching to him? To get him 🤬 ing out You 🤬 that’s a 🤬 ing shame that’s what that is A 🤬 ing shame….

Also Yankees lost Nettles when they were up 2-0, Nettles was super hot at that moment.

I was thinking the same thing. He loved hitting home runs in Dodger Stadium. It was like homefield advantage for him.

But was it because of the stadium or being in the clutch situation that made the difference. If he was just playing regular season games there as opposed to the World Series maybe he doesn't hit any better than he does in any other ballpark.

@@unkledoda420 Nahhhh…. He’d probably would’ve had much higher HR numbers no doubt , and since he loved clutch situations, that always added to Mr. Octobers greatness

Well, it's probably more accurate to say he loved hitting off Dodger pitchers. I'd love to hear Lasorda swearing after a few of these blasts!

The home runs off Tommy John and Bob Welch either hit the back of the bullpen, the divider, or cleared the enclosure altogether. I could never find verification of the measurements. At that point, only Wilver Stargell had ever hit a home run completely out of Dodger Stadium ⚾

The Dodgers did.

What Tommy had to say couldn't be printed or said on TV

@Uriel Jerome Both of you clowns are spam.

The most clutch player in the history of team sports.

You're God Damn right he was.

@@ericbeverly5336Maybe universal sports.

I was born in 71. The first hr I can recall was Chris C hr vs. KC in postseason Dad is a nyy fan. I'm an A's fan

And Thurman.

The one off Bob Welch went out of Dodger Stadium! 💣

I remember that like it was yesterday or 6 minutes ago. I was pulling for that special veteran bunch of Angels to finally get to the World Series at last. I wanted so much to see that 40 yrs young Mr. October in the World Series one more time. It would have been great That would have been something - that 86' Angels squad against the young 86 Mets team.

@@MrNewktrane I live in Canada and was over at my aunt's house watching the game. When the Angels had the Red Sox one out from elimination, I just had this strange premonition that the Red Sox were not done. Henderson was at the plate and I thought he might hit a double to, at least, tie the game; but he knocked it out of the yard to silence the Disneyland faithful. I know that, to this day, Bobby Grich still gets choked up about the game and, especially, about Donnie Moore.

@@FischerFan I wanted those great veterans on that team like Grich, Bob Boone, former Pirate pitcher the Candy Man, Gary Pettis, Doug DeCinces, Don Sutton, George Hendrick, Brian Downing, young buck Wally Joyner, Donnie Moore, & Mr. October - to not only get to the 86 Series but win it all.

@@MrNewktrane The Angels have always been a big enough market in that they could sign big names like Carew, Lynn, Jackson, Sutton, Rupert Jones, etc. Yet, for so many years, they just couldn't get over the hump. I don't know if any of the videos are still available, but there was a list of 20-25 greatest baseball games and, of course, game 5 of the '86 ALCS was one of them. Bob Costas was on the panel and both Bobby Grich and Dave Henderson were guests providing their commentary and perspectives. Costas notes after the Red Sox' second out in the top of the ninth of that game, 'So now Mauch HAS to pull Witt...' because Gedman was coming up and he was the hot batter for Boston in that game.

Henderson's HR gave the Red Sox the lead. Angels rallied and tied it. It was Henderson's Sacrifice Fly in the 11th that gave Boston the lead and the win.

Lasorda is like. What do I need to do to get this guy out!? Let's sign him that's what we'll do.

Yes he would have been epic if he went there after the Yankees!

He almost went to the Dodgers but Mr. Gene Autry, the "signing cowboy", and owner of the at that time California Angels swept Reggie off his feet and he preferred the American League to the National League due to the designated hitter.

Y did Lasorda keep pitching to him? 😮 One of the greatest puzzles in sports history…..

Pathetic camera work in the 1970s too.

Just noticed that the home run off Bob Welch was lost in the evening dew, as well. Either that clout, or the bomb off John could have cleared the back of the bullpen wall for all anyone knows. At that point, only one player, Wilver Stargell, had ever hit home runs (2) completely out of Dodger Stadium, in 1969 and 1973 ⚾

No he doesn't

get real three titles to five fourteen straight retired batters? try 10 homers one dynasty that won every even year try two dynastys a threepeat and a back to back

@@thedude3065 school him Dude 👍

What a colossal blow !

Well he certainly was more successful than you’ll ever be!

Cosell was awesome...whether you like him or not he had major command of whatever sports he was broadcasting....and he told it like it was💪👍

@@danielhuntington2116 now that's telling like it is !
