the examiner Wednesday Oct 19 1977 Reggie Jackson sets World Series records NEW YORK AP Reggie Jackson the man who stirred the drink made it champagne cocktail Tuesday night With three dramatic home runs he giftwrapped New Yorks 84 victory over Los An geles Dodgers and 215i World Series championship for the Yankees am the straw that stirs the drink Jackson said before he had ever batted for the Yankees in major league game Cat cher and captain Thurmanl Munson can only stir it bad Though that comment alien ated Munson and touched off the Yankees soap opera season of conflict and controversy all was forgotten Tuesday night as Jackson powered New York to the Series four games to two One year after the Yankees suffered World Series dis gracea fourgame sweep by Cincinnati Reds last October the Yankees were No the only number acceptable to owner George Steinbreiiner HIRED JACKSON Steinbrenner who bought the Yankees in 1973 is the architect of the Yankees successful sea son It was Steinbrenner who spent $29 million to bring the freeagent Jackson to New York The next morning after we were beaten in four straight by Cincinnati we began working on this year Steinbrenner said swore it was not gonna happen again Now were on top and were gonna stay there More than any other player Jackson drove the Yankees to the top Yoted the Series most valuable player with record breaking five homers and Seriesleading 450 batting average Jackson stoked hot bat in September to fire the Yankees to the American League East Division crown All his hitting heroics helped him overcome season of men tal pressure that would crum ble lesser man First there was the spring training remark that degraded Munson the leagues most valuable player last season Soon after the remark ap peared in national magaznie Jackson had his celebrated run in with manager Billy Martin on national television The two proud men argued and nearly came to blows in their dugout in Boston and the TV cameras recorded every moment BASK IN VICTORY But Tuesday night was time for the Yankees to bask in the thrill of their victory and the awe of witnessing Jacksons home runs one of the most powerful and theatrical feats in World Series annals He beat us single handedly said Dodger first baseman Stove Garvey Ive never seen performance like that in the World Series What Jackson did was tie Babe Ruths record of three homers in one Series game It started as if Chris hambliss would be the hitting hero as he had been last year in New Yorks playoff conquest of Kan sas City Royals Burt Hooton walked Jackson on four pitches in the second inning and saw him score on liamblisss home run Then Jackson took matters into his own hands He smashed screaming line drive into the rightfield stands on Hootons first pitch to him in the fourth Then in the fifth he sent one from Elias Sosa on similar fast trip Charlie Hough knuckleball pitcher was hurling the eighth inning He threw his first pitcti down and over the plate but the result was the samewa mam moth homer this time to centre field an estimated 430 feet away BROKE RECORDS In Game Jackson homered in his last atbat So he ended up smashing home runs on each of his last four swings Over all in the Series Jackson broke records for most homers most runs scored iltti most consecutive homers in two games and most total bases The total base record for sixgame Series previously be longed to Martin the former Yankee second baseman Thats fantastic that he broke my record said Martin Reggies super guy Next year will be lot easier for him It should also be easier for Martin given big bonus ear lier hiesday by Steinbreniier who was on the verge of firing his fiery manager several times this season Doesnt it feel good Stein brenncr asked Martin wrapp ing him in bear hug Im proud for you This is just the start Im proud for you too said Martin his eyes moist GIVEN RONIS Martin was given cash bonus luxury automobile and rentfree apartment for bringing the Yankees world championship and keeping the team together at least together enough to win We didnt want winning or losing the Series as the llfISOIl for rewarding Billy for the good job he did said Yankee presi dent Gabe Paul Emotions Were more re strained in the Los Angclcs locker room Great game sombre Dodger manager Toni Lasorda told Jackson extending his hand You ptit on quite an ex hibition But it still was wonderful season for the Dodgers Their April boom crushed incinnati and kept the Reds from shot at third straight World Series crown We lived by the long ball all season long and we died by the long ball in the Series said Lasorda whose club led the Na tional League in homers and smacked llCOItllyng nine III the Series including Reggie Smiths homer Tuesday night Smiths

when Jackson still neophyte Yankee told magazine such things as There is nobody who can do for club what can do Jackson finally proved his point by setting all sorts of World Series slugging records broke Babe Ruths record with 23 total bases in sixgame series and you broke mine with 25 Martin said to Jackson who delivered five home runs double and three singles Records are made to be broken and
