The shot off Welch in 78 is the definition of the word MAJESTIC. It still hasn't landed.

Reggie kept Lasorda up at night instead of counting sheep he was counting 1 Reggie homers...2 Reggie homers..........8 Reggie homers....9 Reggie homers😀🤣....where's Koufax when you need him😳...what a great swing and truly Mr. October💪💪

That 5th homerun in the ‘77 Series looks like it hit the Marlboro ad!! I love how he watches it in awe after he hits it. He pimped his homeruns!

Reggie put everything into those HR swings.

He was best playoff clutch HR I have ever saw in my life. Big A's fan he was in Oakland. Got almost all of his cards . A great athlete. He will b for ever known for his WS HRS no doubt about that

Damn, you know a player was great when he has a whole 10 minute highlight of just World Series home runs. Reggie was one of the greatest playoff performers of all time.

The home runs off Tommy John and Bob Welch either hit the back of the bullpen, the divider, or cleared the enclosure altogether. I could never find verification of the measurements. At that point, only Wilver Stargell had ever hit a home run completely out of Dodger Stadium ⚾

Reggie was the Dodger destroyer! All of his homeruns were against the Dodgers, except one homerun against the Mets. Wild...Was like one long series against the Dodgers. He went 3-1 against them. Probably the only reason he didn't go 4-0 was they sat him for most of the 81' series...which was strange considering his success against the Dodgers.
