The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.
— Reggie Jackson
October, that's when they pay off for playing ball.
I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It's a business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they're losing money.
I'd like to be able to light the fire a little bit.
A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.
The only difference between me and those other great Yankees is my skin color.
In the building I live in on Park Avenue there are ten people who could buy the Yankees, but none of them could hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium.
I don't mind getting beaten, but I hate to lose.
I am the best in baseball.
Fans don't boo nobodies.
Please God, let me hit one. I'll tell everybody you did it.
I'm human and I've played my butt off for ten years. I'm not a loafer, I'm not a jerk, I'm a baseball player.
I didn't come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.
After Jackie Robinson the most important black in baseball history is Reggie Jackson, I really mean that.
