Mr. October

 Look what I found!

They’re selling “Reggie” bars again.

Of course, Reggie hit three homers in the ‘77 World Series to close it out in six games and secure me 2 crisp dollar bills from Big Al.

Before the next season, the Reggie bar made its debut and the Yankees opened the season by handing them out before the first home game.

Reggie - who never missed a big moment - homered in that game and New York fans littered the field with the Reggie bars.

Now, I recall buying and eating a Reggie bars back in 1978, and my memory was that it was good.

There wasn’t any way I wasn’t buying one last week.

I ate it, and realized that my memory was correct.

It’s good!

Reggie was one of my favorites on those teams because he was a great power hitter, and because he was cocky as hell.

I also loved Thurman and Billy too, but there was a problem brewing because Thurman and Billy didn’t care for Reggie who declared:

“I didn’t come to New York to be a star. I brought my star with me.”

He also claimed that:

“He was the straw that stirred the drink.”

Reggie was great, and he’d tell you about it.

“Reggie will give you the shirt off his back,” Graig Nettles once said, “But he’s going to call a press conference to announce it.”

Reggie was great.

His candy bar is good too.

Just ask him.
