Just because a guy can hit a ball over a fence, he’s not obligated to write his name on something for you.
Much less twice.
When he’s having dinner with friends.
All Reggie Jackson wanted to do was eat dinner with some friends, but, Friday night, his feast turned ugly. According to reports, the Hall of Famer was finishing up dining with friends when he was “besieged by autograph seekers”. It’s said that Jackson was accommodating at first, but then got upset when a fan came back for a second.
“I tried to sign a few autographs and then this guy who I’d seen on the golf course earlier in the day came up,” the 69-year-old former outfielder said. “He was the same guy who I had signed for on the golf course, along with a lot of other people, and who had then gone to the end of the line and had come back again.”
This led to profanity and, if you ask some, Jackson shoving the man.
Naturally, there’s video of (some of) the shouting match.
Sure, TMZ’s video does not show any physical altercation…only some of the swearing, but the New York Daily News confirms it exists.
Hogwash says “Mr. October”.
“I was disappointed that the yelling happened, but it’s all day, all night sometimes with people. You wish those things don’t happen,” Jackson added. “I’ve been stern before with people verbally, but you don’t touch the public. In today’s world, you can’t do that.”
No police report has been filed according to Cooperstown cops.
And to think, some people are paying John Rocker $25 to call them names…all they had to do was interrupt Jackson’s dinner.
