Reggie Jackson and the 1978 World Series [View all]

Last edited Mon Jul 6, 2015, 08:13 PM - Edit history (1)

In Game Five in Los Angeles, in his last at bat, Reggie Jackson hit a home run on the first pitch he saw. When the Series returned to New York (from LA) for Game Six Jackson walked in his first at bat on four pitches. In his next 3 at bats he hit a home run on the first pitch he saw. To recap, Jackson hit four consecutive home runs on four swings of the bat against 4 different pitchers in the World Series.
