Reggie Jackson

You could make the argument that Reggie Jackson might be the most clutch hitter in the history of baseball. After all, this is a man famously nicknamed “Mr. October” for his clutch hitting in the postseason, as a member of the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees. Jackson helped New York win four American League East divisional pennants, three American League pennants and two consecutive World Series titles, from 1977 to 1981. He also helped the (then) California Angels win two AL West divisional pennants in 1982 and 1986. Jackson hit three consecutive home runs at Yankee Stadium in the clinching game 6 of the 1977 World Series.

“Bottom of the ninth inning. Your team down by three runs. The bases are loaded. Your team is pitching. Who’s the guy you want at the plate?” Ok, could you get someone that knows baseball to write this? If my team is pitching in the 9th down by 3 runs then it doesn’t matter. Either its not the 9th inning as the game would be over, or its any other inning before the 9th and the “other team” would be hitting. The answer then should be you want their worst hitter up and not a clutch hitter which negates the purpose of your premise and its why you need some who knows baseball to write about it.
