Reggie Jackson

Anyone know the whereabouts of the bat used by Mr. October to hit the legendary homerun in the 1971 All Star Game (hit the light tower, a towering blast homer)? What do you think this item would bring?

Here is the story and pic:

It would sure look nice next to my Bo Jackson 1989 All Star Game home run bat (my pride and joy!).

Here is a pic of my bat:

Guess I'll have to give up on this one for now!

I read somewhere that Reggie lots a lot of his stuff in a fire that burned down his warehouse in Oakland in the late 1980s. The warehouse contained lots of his vintage cars and the bat that he hit the 3 home runs with in the World Series. Not sure about the 1971 All-Star bat or if he ever kept it. Maybe sonebody else has more details.

Sad story. Sorry to hear of his loss.
