Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson just wanted to eat in peace.
Jackson, in Cooperstown for the weekend's Hall of Fame induction festivities, was at dinner Friday when he reportedly lost his temper with some autograph seekers.
According to the New York Daily News, Jackson signed for some fans but got upset when one of them came back for a second time.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I already signed one," he allegedly screamed at the fan, "and you go back to the f------ line and come up again. That's f----- up. Now it's my time to eat dinner with people I seldom see. It's f----- up. Pay for them like everybody else."
At that point, the fan allegedly said something else to Jackson, who then appeared to shove the fan, according to the Daily News. Amid the fracas, Jackson reportedly shouted, "I need a f----- body guard."
