He did, but I was at Yankee Stadium the day Reggie Jackson hit 3 consecutive homers off the Dodgers in the World Series, with his first coming off Hooten that he crushed into the right field stands. To this day, I remember that second homer he hit off Elias Sosa being the hardest hit line drive that I had ever seen, while his third homer easily went the furthest into the black in center field.
Reggie was a classic example of how being SUPREMELY CONFIDENT AND ABLE TO DEAL WITH FAILURE is how you thrive in a sport where even the best hitters fail 70% of the time.
Who could forget the great Knuckleballer Wilbur Wood and the time he pitched both ends of a doubleheader...?
