Yes folks that was the chant on the night of October 18TH 1977 in Yankee Stadium. As Reginald Martinez Jackson put on a show for the ages. He hit not one or two but three home runs all on consecutive pitches from three different pitchers to help the New York Yankees win their 21st World Championship. For you trivia buffs the pitchers were Burt Hooton, Elias Sosa and Charlie Hough a knuckle baller.
In his career the great Reggie Jackson hit 563 home runs during the regular season. The home runs he hit on that night some 32 years ago were during the post season. For the record he hit more than 563 home runs. Since baseball only recognizes accomplishments in the regular season for the all time home run list we will keep Mr Jackson @ 563.
As for me put me @ 563 and counting! Had a great ride this morning did my highest since Day 450 when I did 961 in 60 minutes. I will tell you it is such an unbelievable, exhilarating feeling to pedal that hard for an extended period of time. Your body is flooded with endorphins .In all honesty you feel like you are on top of the world. For the past two days I have been going right from the lifecycle to the mat. On the mat is where I do my plank exercise. Now coincidence or not today was the second day I have broken the time for minutes of straight plank. Today I did the plank for 26 straight minutes- I tell you it is very close to meditation.
Here is a chronological list of my big numbers on the life cycle since the streak began:
Sunday January 11th 2009=1003= Day 324 special note in 2nd half did a 508!
Friday March 27 th 2009= 1006 508/498 = Day 399
Sunday April 5th 2009 did 520 on the 1st 30 WOW! - then 1,013 = Day 408
Sunday June 14th 2009 did a 507 in 1st 30 minutes finished with a 927.-DAY 478
Monday September 7, 2009 did a 501 in 1st 30 minutes finished with a 958- DAY 563
All these numbers reflect calories burned in 60 minutes.
I am a stat freak so I love keeping track of all numbers and dates.
Tomorrow we break Reggie Jackson's number!-
