Birthday greetings

May 18, 2010

to Reggie Jackson, born this date in 1946.

Reggie (no last name necessary) has been the subject of several books, including Reggie Jackson: The Life and Thunderous Career of Mr. October, the just-released bio by Dayn Perry, which I’ll be reviewing for Bookreporter.com in the very near future.

The Jackson collection includes:

Because you can keep a 30+-year-old candy bar on your bookshelf.

Also celebrating a birthday today, Brooks Robinson (1937).

Another thing you can keep on the bookshelf, if you;re lucky enough to get one: Mr. Robinson’s unique, sawed-off batting helmet, the only one of its kind that I know of that was used in the Majors.
