Reggie is 80! Interviewed on the subject, he instantly flashed geriatric cred, answering the first question by listing everything he has for breakfast:
MLB.com: You look better than ever. How do you stay fit at age 80?
Reggie Jackson: You give your blessings and your thanks to God. I try to focus on physicality, my health and eating good meals. I usually start off with some fruit and coffee in the morning, a glass of juice, maybe waffles or pancakes with scrambled eggs. I eat some cereal, but I’m careful. There is a lot of sugar. I try to stay away from a lot of sugar, if you will.

The maker should rename it Metastoolcil. I bet Reggie secretly eats a ton of Cap'n Crunch and Count Chocula.
Oh, he's pretty healthy. Don't think I ever saw him drink anything, ate well.
Nice interview. Clean up hitter (when that meant something) on 5 world championship teams. An all time great, of course, but somehow I think he's still underrated.
Off day report from Scranton- RailRiders one hit into 9th against WooSox. Ageless Tommy Kahnle, calves impressive as ever, on to close. Leadoff hitter grounds harmlessly to short, but it's booted. Lead off man on. Lombard, Jones, Cabrera due up. George Jr Ks. Jonesy Ks. Ozzie manages to put the ball in play, flying out harmlessly to right. They've lost 5 of 6. Nobody's hitting. They lead the IL in errors and have turned the fewest DPs, by some margin, in the league. Vibes are bad.
Thanks for the report, Publius. Yes, I'm sure that bunch will bring a lot of great trade deadline pick-ups.
Should've been 6 for Reggie, too, if George hadn't insisted on benching him for half of 1981.
