It's funny to hear Reggie Jackson's name mentioned as one of the A's players since he figured prominently during my formative years as an A's fan as a rival rather than an hero. I guess it all depends on when you first started going to games.
For me, apart from a game in '83 that I barely remember, I started going to A's games in 1986. I can still remember my first game, hat day, and seeing Jackson hit at least one HR as a member of the California Angels. He was the chief villain of my early baseball memories.
But man those juggernaut teams of the late '80s were fun to watch!
