Reggie Jackson Posing with a Bat

(Original Caption) Oakland, Calif.: If a star athlete can be described as a person with total physical coordination, then Oakland A's rightfielder Reggie Jackson must count his eyes and hands as two of the most valuable assets in his physical inventory. Jackson blasted three solo homes in the A's 5-0 victory over the Seattle Pilots and boosted his season total to 33."I'm not a 60 home run hitter," disclaims Jackson, although his pace is 10 games ahead of Roger Maris and 23 ahead of Babe Ruth the years they crashed 61 and 60 homers, respectively. Jackson injured his right hand earlier this season and the bandage on that hand is a protective measure.
