TFD: Reggie Jackson had a career .214 average aganst 'non Hall of Famer' Bert Blyleven
Posted by: Michael Rand under Twins fans Updated: July 6, 2012 - 5:17 PM
A few of you noted that Reggie didn't exactly fare so well against that non-HOFer Bert. But just how bad was Reggie?
Jackson had the most career plate appearances (140) of anyone against Blyleven. He compiled a .214 batting average, a .661 OPS and struck out 49 times in 131 official at-bats.
Blyleven's next-highest K total against ANY hitter: 27.
In short, against Bert, Reggie was a little worse than Jay Canizaro was vs. all of baseball.
But no, he doesn't belong next to Reggie in the Hall.
