Reggie Documentary on Amz Prime Video
For vintage fans I’d like to heartily endorse this documentary. Reggie Jackson comes off as thoughtful and introspective at this stage in his life as he looks back on his HOF career. The footage is marvelous including a special Jackie Robinson moment where he gave a speech at Oakland Alameda stadium only days before his passing in 1972. I did a double take when I saw A’s manager Dick Williams give Jackie’s wife a peck on the cheek. Really moving. There’s just oodles of great footage in this doc. It also features some of Reggie’s A’s teammates, Joe Rudi, Rollie Fingers, Vida Blue.
Oh yeah and Hammerin Hank Aaron is in it! As is Dr J. Then you’ve got your late 70s Bronx zoo footage, with a heavy dose of Thurman Munson, Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner.
Must watch for baseball fans.
