I remember Reggie coming out of nowhere in 1969. He hit 34 HRs in the first 75 games and made the cover of Sports Illustrated, I had a subscription. There was talk of him breaking the HR record. I got to see him play in Anaheim and he went deep. Unfortunately, Reggie slumped in August and September with only 7 HRs total. That season made me a fan of his.
