An interaction that Reggie Jackson had with a Yankees fan this past weekend, who expressed his hatred of the Astros second baseman, Jose Altuve in an elevator. Ultimately, it ended with Jackson telling the fan to “be quiet.” It went as follows:

Yankees fan was telling his buddies how much he despised Jose Altuve.

“I hate that little sawed-off SOB,” the gentleman proudly told his chums.

And that’s where Mr October, now an Astros executive, entered the convo.

“He’s my favourite player,” Jackson told the fellow, before adding one comment. “You should be quiet.”

The fellow had one question for Reggie.

“You’re Reggie Jackson, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I am.”

And so, the guy took Reggie’s advice and shut up

Reggie Jackson also commented after that, that Jose Altuve is more clutch than Derek Jeter, he said, “I’ve seen Derek and I’ve seen Jose, and here’s what I’ll tell you,” Jackson said. “If you put him in Derek’s spot, the Yankees have championships every year from 1996 to 2004. There’s no collapse against Boston.”
