Before anyone points out that when Reggie Jackson became Mr. October, he was wearing Yankee pinstripes, know that he was our right fielder out in the Bay. So, if I’m going to borrow a pic 📸 for this story, it’s going to be this one.
The one of young Mr Reece is one that I took myself the night our Cavaliers were playing at Abingdon. Side note 📝, loved the threads !
Reggie already had the three rings 💍 we won as Oakland, but these three swings that a 14 year old boy witnessed is what led to Reggie going from Reggie Jackson to Mr. October ! It also led to this unheard-of marketing campaign.
How talented of a baseball ⚾️ player do you have to be to hit three 💣💣💣 in a very small amount of swings playing on the Big Stage ?
It was Donna Nester who sent the messages to me from Magna Vista after Bam – Bam left the yard with in back to back at bats ! That day, our Cavaliers won the 4 vs. 5 match-up that send us packing for the trip to Abingdon.
Reece stood at the plate, in the photo above, and with our season certainly on the brink, did the unthinkable. Mr. Post-season was born when our sophomore launched a third 2-run bomb 💣 in the window 🪟 of four post-season at-bats.
While it was bitter sweet to see 👀 Reggie Jackson climb to stardom after he left our team, it was extra sweet the second time around. Why, because I didn’t know Reggie’s Big Brother
Remember, my heart ❤️ is in Marketing and this one writes ✍️ itself !
