Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:51:14 -0700 Former MLB OF Reggie Jackson will serve as a guest instructor for the New York Yankees this week, according to Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork.com.

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:25:44 -0700 Mark Feinsand, of the New York Daily News, reports former New York Yankees outfielder Reggie Jackson could be banned from sitting in the dugout during spring training games.

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 23:48:15 -0700 The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Reds OF Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 561st home run Aug. 17 against the St. Louis Cardinals, putting him within two homers of tying Reggie Jackson for 10th on the career list.

Sat, 05 Mar 2005 13:12:53 -0800 The Associated Press reports Hall of Fame OF Reggie Jackson was taken to the hospital with minor injuries after his sport utility vehicle was rear-ended by another SUV Friday night. Jackson's vehicle was stopped Friday night when an SUV "traveling at a high rate of speed" hit him from behind, Tampa police spokesman Joe Durkin said Saturday. Both vehicles flipped. Jackson, 58, was treated and released from the hospital, Durkin said. The other driver was in critical condition when he was brought to the hospital, Durkin said. The hospital didn't release information on him on Saturday. Durkin said it wasn't clear how fast the other vehicle was going or whether alcohol was involved. But he said Jackson didn't appear to be at fault.

"Reggie told me he'd buy the team for $25 million more," said Athletics co-owner Steve Schott. "But I don't go chasing the last dollar. I have an obligation to the contract."
