Reggie Jackson

October Men: Reggie Jackson, George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin, and the Yankees' Miraculous Finish in 1978
$16.00
It's neither as funny nor as thorough as Sparky Lyle's book, the Bronx Zoo, when it comes to the Yankees in 1978, but Kahn does do a good enough job of telling the history of the franchise and the main characters leading up to that classic season.

Kahn is especially good at explaining the history of Yankees ownership through the years and relating Steinbrenner's purchase of the team with that of the owners who came before him. George is given a lot more credit here than he ever got in the national press.

Like a lot of books that have come out since Billy Martin's death, this one has little sympathy for that combative, alcoholic, eccentric yet effective Yankee manager. Kahn's take on Reggie is somewhat in the middle recognizing him as a great clutch player but with too many of the same insecurities that plagued Martin. I think Kahn should be commended for his straightforward approach to the sainted Thurman Munson. He shows Munson as essential to the team and yet a little more surly than a Yankee captain should be.

I would have liked to see Kahn spend more time explaining the histories and motivations of the other important members of the team, but this book was mostly interested in the guys we already know the most about. In the end, Kahn doesn't create the classic he did with BOYS OF SUMMER, but this history is still worth reading.

what can you say about Mr. October Reggie Jackson that hasn't already been said? He was a Hitter that I always enjoyed watching hit. he was One of a Kind. the Man spoke his mind and His Bat did alot of talking as well. He was a WInner no matter where he played. this Book is cool in that it covers a good section about Reggie's career and whatnot.
