Our summer countdown of ASU's top professional athletes has come to an end, as we honor "Mr. October."
On a program colloquially known as "MLB U.," Reggie Jackson is the gold standard for any aspiring big leaguer passing through Arizona State.
Perhaps baseball's most clutch player ever, "Mr. October" followed a solid two-year stint with the Arizona State Sun Devils into a legendary 21 career, shining on the biggest stages on the biggest markets.
Originally accepting a scholarship from legendary ASU coach Frank Kush to play football, the left-handed Jackson walked on to Bobby Winkles' baseball program as an outfielder — largely due to a five-dollar bet with a friend — and made the full-time switch following his freshman year.
