Reggie Jackson left Arizona State after his sophomore year, going second overall in the 1966 MLB draft to the Kansas City Athletics. Jackson began his minor league career playing Single-A ball for Lewiston in the Northwestern League and finished the year playing for Modesto in the California League. Jackson started his second year with the Double-A Birmingham A’s of the Southern League. Jackson was eventually called up to Kansas City, making his MLB debut on June 9, 1967 and recorded a triple for his first MLB hit. Though, Jackson was eventually demoted back down to finish the year. Jackson began the 1968 season with the Athletics, who had just relocated to Oakland. Jackson was named AL MVP in 1973 and was an integral part of the A’s three straight World Series victories beginning in 1972. After a salary dispute with the A’s, Jackson was traded to the Orioles in 1976. Jackson then went on to spend the next five season in New York with the Yankees, winning back to back World Series in 1977 and 1978, and earning his “Mr. October” nickname. Jackson went on to play five seasons with the California Angels before closing out his twenty-two year career with the A’s for a final season. Jackson’s number nine and forty-four were retired by the Athletics and Yankees respectfully, and his legendary career was capped off with a Hall of Fame induction in 1993.
