He played with the Oakland Athletics in the 1973 and 1974 World Series and with the New York Yankees in the 1977, 1978, and 1981 World Series.

He was a member of the Oakland A's teams that won three consecutive World Series between 1972 and 1974. But he didn't play in the '72 Series because of a ruptured hamstring sustained in the American League Championship Series against Detroit. He still gets credit because he helped get the team in the Fall Classic. Jackson also played for three New York Yankees teams that made it to the World Series, but only the 1977 and 1978 squads won world championships. Let's go ahead and give him credit for five rings.
Reggie Jackson hit 18 post season home runs of which 10 were hit in the World Series.
