Comment:
Reggie Jackson put on quite a show hitting three home runs on three pitches to put the Dodgers away in this sixth game of the 1977 World Series.  This would secure his legendry fame as ‘Mr. October’.  Jackson’s five home runs were a series record later tied by Chase Utley and George Springer.  However, Springer’s feat comes into question since he was illegally receiving the pitcher’s signs in that World Series.  Besides Jackson’s autograph on this game card is Mike Torrez the winning pitcher, Sparky Lyle who would as a reliever no less be the AL CY Young award winner for 1977.  Greg Nettles considered one of the great Yankee third baseman while Lou Piniella was a Yankee favorite.  Quite a signed card.
