Reggie Jackson’s time with the A’s wasn’t short-lived by any means, but it’s fair to say fans would have loved to see him sport the green and gold forever. In his heart, however, he does.
Mr. October’s 10 years with the team earned six of his 14 total All-Star selections across the Hall of Fame outfielder's 21-year career. And he enjoyed every moment he spent with Oakland.
Jackson was part of the team’s dynasty in the 1970s that created the “The Swingin’ A’s.” The team won three consecutive World Series from 1972-74.
“I’m a proud Oakland A with all the championship teams,” Jackson told The Chronicle’s Susan Slusser.
