Most professional athletes retire without ever winning a title. For Reggie Jackson, winning one ring wasn’t enough. By the time the ’70s were over, Jackson had a ring for every finger. He was also named the AL MVP in 1973. And unlike Pete Rose, Jackson stayed clean off the field and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993.

During his incredible career, Jackson played for the Athletics and Yankees. In Oakland, he wore the number nine. In New York, 44 was his lucky number. Both cities retired his digits after he retired. Up ahead, Bobby Orr has the NHL back up the Brinks truck, but did he deserve it?
