‘The N***er Can’t Stay Here!’ Reggie Jackson Gives Stunning Account Of Racism

Baseball legend Reggie Jackson stunned his broadcast partners with a riveting account of racism — and an unexpected answer to a cliché about adversity.

Major League Baseball honored the late Willie Mays — who passed away at the age of 93 this week — at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama during a tribute to the Negro Leagues. Mays played at the field as a member of the Birmingham Black Barons before his debut for MLB.

Prior to the game, Alex Rodriguez asked Reggie — who played at Rickwood as a minor leaguer with the Birmingham A’s — about the emotions around returning there.
