There are few athletes--there are few

people--who have had as much written,

reported or rumored about them as Reggie

Jackson. He has been depicted in the media

as a hero, a villain, an intellectual, a fake,

the greatest clutch baseball player of his

generation, an egomaniac. He has been loved

by the fans and hated by the fans. He has

battled and lost, he has battled and triumphed.

The only constant--aside from his incredible

ability to win wherever he goes--has been

the bewildering web of contradictions

surrounding him.

At long last, that web has been unraveled.

The contradictions have been set straight. The

truths have been revealed by the only man who

could, once and for all, reveal them: Reginald

Martinez Jackson.
