Yankee Great Reggie Jackson: Disrespected by Hotel

The New York Yankees have probably the richest history of any pro sports franchise. And a roster of alumns that does double duty in Cooperstown. From the likes of the Babe and Gehrig, to Whitey Ford and Yogi and Joe D ,to the Mick and the Scooter, to Craig Nettles and Thurman and Catfish, to Goose Gossage and "Lousianna Lightning".

And Reggie. Reggie Jackson.

But apparently, while fans will hold the likes of Yogi and the Babe, et al, dear to their hearts; Reggie is but a distant memory. The championship he brought the city, long forgotten. The memory of his majestic three home run barrage against the Dodgers evoking nothing but a quizzical, "huh?".

Recently, Reggie came back to visit the city that he helped revive after over a decade of baseball mediocrity. And his reception was less than enthusiastic.

The Bronx Bombers' former slugger was in town last week, and guests at the Regency were shocked to see him having an argument with the reception staff over rates. "He was upset about not getting 'the Yankee rate,' " our witness said. Jackson bitterly complained, but the hotel staff held firm and apparently didn't give him the discount.

That's right folks. Mr. October can't get the Yankee discount.

One wonders if his Yankee great predecessors (like Yogi, Scooter, Joe D, Whitey, etc...) ever suffered such indignities. We have never seen reports indicating that they were denied preferential Yankee treatment, so we can only assume that they have never been treated this way.

As the first true Negro superstar of the Yankees, Jackson always engaged in a love/hate relationship with the fans. As would be expected, hit home runs and they love you. Go through the unavoidable droughts that accompany the game, and they hate you. The same story every Negro athlete can tell.

Certainly, there is little doubt here:

Whitey would never be denied the Yankee discount.




(Ed. A few of our knowledgeable readers emailed us asking why we didn't mention Elston Howard as a Negro Yankee superstar. Ask people to list Yankee greats. Most, save for those intimate with the game, don't mention Howard. While he was a great, for some reason, he hasn't gone down as legendary. Thanks for the emails, tho.)

I think this is an isolated incident, because Reggie has received good treatment from the Yankees and the league in general.

I'm sure he gets love as in an "ambassador of the game" type way.

the reader you were writing about was ME but you dont have the guts to admit it. It is your opinion that people dont mention Elston Howard (of course you proved your baseball knowledge by writing that the baseball hall of fame was in Canton...maybe it is people with that same lack of baseball knowledge who dont mention Elston Howard). As for the facts, Howard is a revered yankee great whose number is retired and hangs in monument park...an honor that cannot be said of all the other players you mentioned and an honor reserved for the LEGENDARY YANKEES. So i will take your oversight as just a result of your lack of baseball knowledge and not as another attempt to disrespect the accomplishments of a negro athlete to further your warped agenda. But good job though continue scrolling the pages of the NY posts page six for your info..it is a truly reliable source.

Why dont you mention the preferential treatment that a guy gets for only playing 5 years for the yankees....like a retired number 44 and a bogus front office position...reggie has received more than his fair share of preferential treatment.

Sir, nice blog you have

NOIS you could learn a few things about creating a productive blog from Jarrett. It is like your blog just without the reverse racism.

censored said...

one more thing to fix your errors...it is Graig Nettles not Craig Nettles and the white former third baseman hit more home runs and drove in more runs as a yankee than reggie but somehow his number is not retired like jacksons was...is there some preferential treatment going on?

We assume that you must also then have a problem with Gayle Sayers being in the Hall of Fame, right? Short career and all. And jeez, he didn't even bring the Bears a ring.

"It is like your blog just without the reverse racism"

Reverse racism? There is no reverse about it. You come here and tell us that we HAVE to conform to YOUR ideals. That we MUST convey EXACTLY the same information from the EXACT same perspective as the white media.

That isn't reverse racism. YOU are racist.

Not in reverse. You go full speed ahead.

"it is Graig Nettles not Craig Nettles "

Welcome to what we in the media call a "typo". Once again, you choose window dressing over content. Typical of your ilk (read: race).

I was merely pointing to the fact that NOIS' baseball knowledge is suspect thus making his entire posting suspect...he refuses to answer to any of the facts i present and instead just calls me a racist when none of my comments on this thread were racist. He wrote that the baseball hall of fame was in Canton...that is not a typo, that is a clear lack of knowledge about the subject. He doesnt even know anything about Graig Nettles other than that he is white and therefore a way to put a racist spin on a ridiculous posting.

Wow just when i thought you showed a complete lack of knowledge you go even further..ha ha ha...The average NFL career is 4 years...you need to only play 5 to be hall eligible...Sayers played his entire hall of fame career with the Bears and is one of the all time best. In MLB you need to play a minimum of 10 years to be hall eligible and Reggie played only 5 years of a 20 year career for the yankees. Basically your argument makes absolutely no sense but i understand you are trying to paint me as anti-black so your common sense probably just went out the window. Reggie had his best years for other teams (namely Oakland) so the fact that he had his number retired by the yankees when the white Graig Nettles (Who played 10 years for the yankees and had more HRs and RBI as a yankee than jackson) shows a certain preferential treatment...these are just facts that I know you dont like to acknowledge.

Brother T said...

"that is not a typo, that is a clear lack of knowledge about the subject. He doesnt even know anything about Graig Nettles "

wow, aren't you sharp as a tack.

can't be a typo.

A blackrocentric blogger doesn't know who Graig Nettles is??? He knew enough about who he was to include him in the post, dipshit.


"racist when none of my comments on this thread were racist"

This COMMENT was racist. I've seen Graig Nettles name spelled wrong in NATIONAL publications (white publications) do you send letters to the editor telling them they don't know who he is?

Racism is so embedded in your thought process that you don't even recognize it anymore.

It's a shame.

nation_of_islam_sportsblog said...

Sir,

Gayle Sayers had a wonderful career.

A SHORT career. He was All-NFL five years, and then injuries slowed his last two years.

You miss our point, you said Reggie only played 5 years with the Yanks, and therefore deserved nothing.

You prove our point.

You say Gayle deserves to be considered an all time great.

He had 5 productive years.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

That's a substantial variation. If he really thought he was okay, he'd be curious about how our point of view could differ so greatly from his own.

Oh, he definitely recognizes his own racism. That's why he's so quick to call others racist.

Sir your idiocy continues to grow...you cannot compare the two sports at all. The standards for what makes a great career are different due to the brutality of the NFL. I never disputed Sayers as one of the greatest ever but the criteria for a great NFL career is different from MLB because overall careers are shorter. Reggie Jacksons preferential treatment by the yankees would be akin to the great Roger Clemens having his number retired by the Toronto Blue Jays...only a small fraction of their careers are with those clubs.
Reggie did not even have his best years with the yankees and yet they showed him the preferential treatment of retiring his number and giving him a VP postion with the team. You listed Graig Nettles as legendary and he did not have his number retired. You do not know much about baseball obviously...what the other postings fail to pick up on is the fact that my correcting of your Nettles error was only after you proved you didnt know much by writing the baseball hall of fame was in Canton. You see it was a pattern of behavior that proved your stupidity on the subject.
You also didnt respond to the fact that a player you say isnt regarded as a legendary player..Elston Howard...has had his number retired by the Yankees. An honor reserved for legendary yankee players...also an honor that was not given to many of the other players you labeled in your posting.
When you are wrong you scream RACIST...point to an example in this thread where i have been racist..i can point to several where NOIS has been. It was NOIS who refused to acknowledge Elston Howard as a legend not me.

Lets take a moment to commend the Chicago Bears and their negro coach Lovie Smith in regards to their swift action against Tank Johnson. Although the team extended itself to help this young man they found out the hard way that you can only help those who want to be helped. Coach Smith and the Bears realized that the cleanup of the leagues image must continue...regardless of the talent level of the player. It was indeed a brave move to sacrifice on-field talent in the hopes of not setting a bad moral example for the fans of the game. Well done Coach Smith...that toughness is the reason you are at the top of your profession.

Your double standard and unabashed joy at Negro players being suspended and cut, juxtaposed with your silence when white players are charged with crimes (and plead down) and left on the roster is further irrefuteable proof that you have a white sheet and hood in your closet.

I know with people like you out there it must be difficult for a man like Smith to stand up and acknowledge right from wrong..seeing is how you will bash him for doing so.

I think we can rightfully ignore your pathetic insinuation that this story is untrue. When you take the time to back up just one chunky nugget that comes out of your mouth (so to speak) with a link to ANYTHING, we will reconsider your personal currency on this issue. Til then, the verdict is your opinion is weightless.

ii. We didn't insinuate a thing. We specifically stated that we had never seen a report about a former white yankee super star being denied the Yankee discount.

Life should be easier for you now.

"I DIDNT make it about color..."

you turn every thread and post into a race war.

nois points out a story, and his views on it....and then your roll up and demand to know why he didn't mention this white player or that white player when the article is positive...if he point out an article that show a negative thing that a white player do, you yell at him and say what about this black player or that black player...

THAT is racist, man!

i wanna know, when espn.com have an article about a black player doing wrong, since they are white media, do email the editor and demand that they mention a white player to show that both races do things wrong?

didn't think so. but YOU do it here.

RACIST!!!! ain't no other word for it.

are you blind or can you see that everything you just described is what NOIS does? All i pointed out in this article was that the baseball hall of fame wasnt in Canton as NOIS thought and that Reggie was not the first black superstar on the yankees. I get shit here for defending Elston Howard as a legend. I never said Reggie wasnt only that he only played briefly for the yankees and other players with better stats as a yankee have been overlooked...it is you who have drawn racist implications...i cannot help it if that is what drives you.

So, nois spends all day on your blog calling you a racist?

oh, i didn't know that.

man, you are a joke. all nois does is point out inconsistancies in the medias coverage of sports....and all you do is make everything racial.

can't YOU see that?

guess not.

a racist is the last to recognize his racism.

pahdner, you get more and more elementary in your responses. you scream "i am no racist" and nois points out with perfect on point examples that PROVE you are. And your response "no nois is a racist".

someone points out the racism and prejudice shown in your posts and how you always turn everything into a topic on color....and your response, "nois does it".

LOL. you said man. just sad.

NOIS has PLAYED you, nikka! Pimped you like a ho. Turned you out like it's your first day in prison.

And you too blind to see it. But I KNOW you feel it. HA!

in this posting i pointed out basic sports related mistakes that show NOIS doesnt know much about baseball...and that turned into yelling that i was being racist. I cant help it that a guy who has a sports blog cant read a map.

"and that turned into yelling that i was being racist."

no, you HISTORY here is what leads to others pointing out you are racist.

you have tried very hard to carefully avoid the overt wording that you used in the past.

but your racist sentiment is as strong as your ignorance.

and that is powerful

most racists like to pretend that their racism ended on a previous date.

some choose Emancipation, others the Civil Rights Act, whatever.

this dude thinks he gets a fresh start on every blog entry. like we never read any of his previous posts

'chunky nuggets' of wisdom, all.

I have learned from NOIS..if you choose to read a racist tone from what i have written that is your problem...free yourself from your hate.

LOL...only problem is exactly what Johnny pointed out...YOUR PAST POSTS...hahaha...

you used to not hide it, now you try to make it ambiguous. all you did is put on a mask.

what, two weeks ago you had no problem with the over racism. now, you no longer are racist, we choose to see the tone?

nois has already proven to everyone on here YOU aren't smart enought to play that game...lol

it's too late. you already put your cards on the table. you are like a poker player that has been called. you turn your cards over for the world to see....but YOU keep trying to bluff...LOL

yea your desire to convict blacks without a trial, your desire to dismiss the ills that are caused by racism and your denial that slavery has led to ANY problems that plague america today are completely harmless.

sunshine and daydreams. that's what they are.
