This hand signed Reggie Jackson bat was personally signed by Reggie and given to SHS parent Alan Gomez, just for our auction! Mr. Jackson's "Mr. October Foundation" provides educational grants, mentoring, and internships to students. And he generously autographed the bat and provided a certificate of authenticity to raise money for our students!

Along with his charitable work, Mr. Jackson is of course known for his 21 seasons in Major League Baseball and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993. He helped Oakland win five consecutive American League West divisional pennants, three consecutive American League pennants and three consecutive World Series titles, from 1971 to 1975. Jackson hit three consecutive home runs at Yankee Stadium in the clinching game 6 of the 1977 World Series.

Jackson hit 563 career home runs and was an American League (AL) All-Star for 14 seasons. He won two Silver Slugger Awards, the AL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 1973, two World Series MVP Awards, and the Babe Ruth Award in 1977. The Yankees and Athletics retired his team uniform number in 1993 and 2004.
