B&C Morning Show: Reggie Jackson with Boomer & Carton
The guys were thrilled to invite Reggie Jackson into the Allstate Studio this morning, partly because he came bearing gifts in the form of soup from the "The Original Soup Man."
Early on Craig referred to Reggie as an "old friend," which struck a chord with Jackson, who is pushing 65, and he informed Craig that he prefers to be known as a "long-time friend," because apparently he is a little sensitive about his age. Though that didn't stop Craig from later asking Reggie if he is afraid of dying, which seemed to have caught "Mr. October" off guard.
Jackson talked about the relationship between Derek Jeter and the Yankees, which became a somewhat fractured during the off season. He also talked openly about his relationship with the late George Steinbrenner, both during his playing days and leading up to his death.
Reggie mentioned reading scripture with the likes of Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez. We also learned that he thinks Cameron Diaz is very good for A-Rod.
