Mr. October

People give him a bad time because of his arrogance, but Steinbrenner called him Mr. October, this is World Series time and I want to know whether Mr. October was truly the greatest clutch hitter in the history of baseball. Was there any vintage ballplayer that was comparable to Mr. October when the chips were down? Let me hear of ballplayers and interesting scans if you have them. |

Clutch hitter, my ass. In fact, hitter, my ass. In his entire career, he hit .300 exactly once. |

The greatest quote about Reggie came from Catfish Hunter. When they came out with the Reggie bar, Cat said "Don't put a Reggie bar in your pocket - you'll get mustard all over your pants." |

reggie jackson was one of the best post season hitters in the history of baseball. he not only excelled with the yankees but was on the great oakland team of the early 80's. the teams he was on were winners. that is a fact. besides jackson, george brett,lou brock,derek jeter,pepper martin,yogi,mantle,ruth,gehrig,dimaggio all were great in the post season. i don't think any of the 1950's brooklyn dodgers make the post season best of list. |

Lifetime average of .227 in the playoffs. So, the best you could call him is "Mr. Late October." |

Reggie used to contend that the "progression" went this way: Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jackson. |
