Reggie

This documentary is a mix of Reggie Jackson's impactful playing career, with his experiences with race relations in baseball both on the field as well as in management, which extends into him working to improve civil rights. To the baseball portion, it is a good overview of his career and his larger-than-life personality at least compared with someone less brash like Jackie Robinson. I never knew he was the highest paid player when he signed with the Yankees, after a short stint with the Baltimore Orioles (shout out to my team!). If you know a moderate amount about baseball, you'll know the Reggie swung so hard he twisted himself up lick a corkscrew, so he was a power hitter that helped his teams win multiple World Series. He takes that experience today to help more black youths get into the sport as well as increase the percent of black ownership of MLB teams. Overall, this was entertaining and informative.
