how did reggie jackson become an astros advisor when he has 0 connections to the astros? or am i missing something?
According to a recent New York Post column, the reason Jackson left the Yankees was because he "[felt] like a hood ornament." Jackson also details how he felt like he was on the outside looking and was left out of being able to help with any real decision making. He felt like he needed a change of scenery where his expertise and opinions on the sport would be valued. On May 12, 2021 Jackson found a new home with the Astros just months after departing New York. Owner Jim Crane hired Jackson to help focus on community support initiatives. Since then, he has been nothing but happy and feels valued by Crane and the Astros.
