Reggie Jackson Lights Fenway With Weekend Onslaught
Reggie Jackson powered the Oakland Athletics to a dominant weekend sweep of the Red Sox, delivering 15 RBIs on 14 official at bats across two games including four home runs. He piled up a 23rd homer on Sunday and drew praise from Boston manager Dick Williams while Yankees, Orioles, and Tigers games produced additional AL action. Major records were narrowly missed as Jackson matched and nearly surpassed marks set by Tony Lazzeri in 1936.
