Why Reggie Jackson ranks #107 in Baseball

Reggie Jackson ranks 107th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2255th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 90, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1967–1987 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career home runs 563, world series titles 5, mvp awards 1, world series mvp awards 2.

Immediately ahead sits Luke Appling on 87.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jesse Burkett on 87.7. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
