Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson began his Major League career with which team?

Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson began his Major League career with the Kansas City Athletics. Jackson made his MLB debut on June 9, 1967, for the Athletics in Kansas City, after the club selected him second overall in the 1966 MLB draft. His first major-league hit was a triple against Cleveland.

The Athletics moved from Kansas City to Oakland before the 1968 season, so Jackson spent most of his early career with the Oakland Athletics. He became one of baseball’s premier power hitters, leading the American League in home runs four times and winning the 1973 AL Most Valuable Player Award.

Jackson later played for the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and California Angels. He earned the nickname “Mr. October” for his postseason performance, including three home runs in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series. He finished with 563 home runs, won five World Series titles, and entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.
