Reggie Jackson Releases Statement Regarding Comments

Reggie Jackson, the Yankees special adviser, has released a statement regarding his comments about Hall of Famers and steroids.

"In trying to convey my feelings about a few issues that I am passionate about, I made the mistake of naming some specific players." "

This was inappropriate and unfair to those players, some of which are very close friends of mine. I think there are ways to speak from the heart without hurting people, and I’m disappointed that I didn’t take greater care in expressing my views.

 “I have been proactively reaching out to make personal apologies to those within the Hall of Fame community that I offended, and to the Yankees organization for any disruption that I caused in the clubhouse. I continue to have a strong relationship with the club, and look forward to continuing in my role with the team. As always, I remain dedicated to the great game of baseball." 


There has been no word yet if Reggie will return to the team tomorrow.
