Reggie

Didn't expect much at first, so I was pleasantly surprised at the tone and style. As an older man, his reflections and self awareness are really poignant at times. Told in first person.

Through all of his famous ego, it was all about searching for dignity, acceptance and respect - his insecurity he reveals conversationally is pretty moving. Especially as he vasciallated from being hated and shut out to being loved.

Also great to see other famous players in the conversations.

Wish there had been more teammate stories and some more laughs to break up the hard parts, but otherwise it's an unusually moving sports documentary.

Understand something, Reggie was all about team and making sure he was on the same playing level as every other person. I loved the story as a Yankee fan but more importantly I loved the story about his humanity and culture. Great insight into his opinions, heart and mind. I would recommend this documentary to anyone, not just Yankee fans and baseball fans. Everyone needs to hear another person's story and struggles to shed light on the bigger picture that happens beyond self. The fact that people can't hear and listen to someone who brings something different to the table is just plain wrong.

A great in-depth interview with one of the most successful baseball players off all-time. Also an incredibly cool, humble and down-to-earth individual who campaigns strongly for the needy and under-privililaged in society

It's a really important message and every young person coming through on the sport should watch this movie.

I'm not a big baseball fan, I'm English, but I am a huge fan of Reggie. He's clearly the rockstar of Yankee baseball and set the standards for unionising against his club to get his deal at the Yankees.

What a legend. What a gentleman. We need more education about segregation and the adversity which minorities face. This is an excellent showcase for that and the beautiful game.

I watched "Reggie" to learn about a person, a time, a place. I knew about his three home runs on three pitches in the 1977 World Series, and was interested in seeing some film of that building excitement. Who doesn't like the Hollywood melodrama Cinderella story in real life?

That part then, was almost anti-climactic since It was was anticipated. What moved me and made me say "Wow" was listening to the voices and words of real people making their comments, telling their stories. It is an eye-opening history lesson.

Like most all biographies, it is titled as the story of a person, but gives you much more to think about.

What was going on daily, what was normal at that time, actions that other people, besides the main subject, were taking, what they were doing is also fascinating.

I watched this documentary to learn about one interesting person, but as usual with history, came away with much knowledge and food for thought on more subjects than Reggie Jackson.

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.
