Maroon Madness Sweet 16: No. 1 Reggie Jackson vs. No. 4 Darren Woodson

This Matchup was practically penciled in when the bracket came out. In the first round, Reggie Jackson beat ASU basketball legend Joe Caldwell with 88 percent of the vote. A few days later, Darren Woodson secured his spot in the Sweet 16 with 87 percent of the vote over Paul Lo Duca.

For Jackson, this one’s easy. It was that night in 1977 where he came to the park as Reggie Jackson and left as “Mr. October.” In Game 6 of the ‘77 World Series, Jackson etched his name into the Fall Classic lure, belting three home runs over the Yankee Stadium wall on just three pitches from three different Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitchers.
