MLB Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson opens up on racism he faced playing in Alabama
Being back at Alabama’s Rickwood Field brought back painful memories for MLB Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, who detailed the racism he experienced there in an appearance on a Fox Sports pregame show. Jackson played at Rickwood Field in the minor leagues in the late 1960s. He said coming back to the area was “not easy.” “The racism when I played here, the difficulty of going through different places where we traveled … I wouldn't wish it on anybody,” he said.
