Clear the damn field! Reggie Jackson coming through

Flashback.

Having fans run onto the field after the game was never a great idea, especially for minority players who didn't know if someone in the crowd was a precursor to a MAGAt.

Had tickets in the RF bleachers, not many fans in Fenway Park. Jackson hit a line drive ball, so hard, that Dwight Evans didn't even bother to chase after it. Probably the quickest HR ball I've ever seen. I don't think it ever got 30' off the ground.
