@macrijshannon Thank you for sharing that. Reggie hit some towering blasts. Another guy who hit moonshots that people don't talk as much about was Willie Stargell. Reggie may have finished with a .262 average, but in his prime that average was well above .270.
Willie Horton, at age 16, hit a home run in the same spot. 12 years earlier.
June 9, 1959, in the Detroit Public High School championship game between Cass Tech and Northwestern at Briggs Stadium. "The base of the light standard on top of the roof that Willie hit was the same one Reggie Jackson hit in the All-Star Game 12 years later, and if it had not been there, it would have gone out of the ballpark," Terrell said.
Tiger Stadium looked much better in green rather than blue.
