Jackson
being
sued
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP)- A bong Island housewife who
said she "idolized" Reggie Jackson has filed a $3.1-million
lawsuit against the former New York Yankee baseball
slugger, alleging that he struck her when she tried to get his
autograph.
In her state Supreme Court suit, Hope Santiago, 33, of Deer
Park, said Jackson hit her on the head in a Yankee Stadium
parking lot on July 23 after Jackson had parked his car.
JACKSON, NOW a player with the California Angels, was
in town at the time for a three-game series with the Yankees.
Matt Merola, Jackson's New York agent, replied, "Reggie
told me it didn't happen. The fellow who went to the stadium
with him told me nothing happened.
"I believe them both."
AND MEROLA said that "the police would have said
something to me" if the incident had occurred.'
Merola said he was "baffled" about Santiago's reason for
filing the suit, "unless it's a way of getting some money."
Santiago said she had "been following Jackson since he
was a rookie-when he played for Oakland, Baltimore, and
the Yankees."
SANTIAGO SAID she was one of about 20 fans who con-
verged on Jackson as he emerged from his car. One woman
gave him a dozen roses and he threw them on the ground, she
said.
Jackson also gave a $100 bill to an old man whom he ap-
parently knew, she said.
Then, she said, "For no apparent reason he started
swinging his arms and jogging through the crowd. He hit me
in the face and I was thrown against a chain link fence."
Santiago's attorney, Sidney Siben, of Bay Shore, said his
client suffered a dislocated shoulder and face lacerations,
but also "was hurt emotionally."
