Reggie Jackson played for 21 seasons over the course of his
major league career from 1967 until 1987. He was given the name
"Mr. October" for his postseason heroics. Jackson is a 14-time
All-Star and five-time World Series champion. He won two Silver
Slugger Awards, the 1973 American League Most Valuable Player (MVP)
Award, two World Series MVP Awards, and the 1977 Babe Ruth Award.
Jackson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.
Gaylord Perry pitched in the major leagues from 1962 until 1983
and played for eight different teams over the course of his 22-year
baseball career. During that time, Perry accumulated 314 wins,
3,534 strikeouts, and a 3.11 earned run average. This five-time
All-Star was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in each
league, winning it in the American League in 1972 and in the
National League in 1978. Soon after, Perry became the 15th member
of the 300 win club in 1982. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1991.
“We are proud to be associated with these Hall of Famers who
exhibit the same strong values and commitment to excellence that we
strive to achieve every day at Diamond,” said Flaskey.
