I saw that on TV.  I grew up there.  Some people forget he hit two in Game 5.  His last four swings of the bat were homers.

An even more obscure fact than that, I was also there for the first game of the 1978 season when they handed out Reggie Bars to every fan.  On the first pitch that Reggie saw in that game, he homered again and the fans responded by throwing their Reggie Bars onto the field in a tribute to him.

I probably would have thrown mine too, but by the bottom of the first, I had already eaten mine!
