This episode of Home Run Showdown features Reggie Jackson of the Oakland A's going up against Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox at Boston's Fenway Park, circa 1969. Although Jackson hits more home runs in this particular showdown, Yaz shows why he was one of the all-time great hitters by consistently whacking the ball all over the yard, and outlasting Jackson in distance (first to 10,000 feet). Music is "Gathering Crowds," the famous closing theme to "This Week in Baseball," and "Man Alive," a song regularly used on TWIB during the late 1970s.
