Page "Reggie Jackson" Paragraph 22

Jackson has consistently denied saying anything negative about Munson in the interview and that his quotes were taken out of context.

However, Dave Anderson of the New York Times subsequently wrote that he had drinks with Jackson in July 1977, and that Jackson told him, " I'm still the straw that stirs the drink.

Not Munson, not nobody else on this club.

" Regardless, as Munson was beloved by his teammates, Martin, Steinbrenner and Yankee fans, the relationships between them and Jackson became very strained.
