Steinbrenner recalls Reggie Jackson gift at breakfast
George Steinbrenner woke to a call from Reggie Jackson inviting breakfast at a Greek coffee shop. Jackson handed over a glass statuette and car awarded by Sport Magazine for the 1977 World Series MVP, which Steinbrenner declined, preferring a replica for Jackson. He says he would do the Yankees' $2.9 million deal again. Steinbrenner singles out Thurman Munson as MVP, and notes Jackson’s best contributions came in August and September.
