He did play more years with the A's,
but he is in the Hall of Fame as a Yankee.

He's famous for being Mr. October.
He's a Yankee.
Though the '72 Oakland A's were the greatest team ever!

Good question. I would say as a NY Yankee. Although, he did hit that mammoth home run in the 1971 All Star game as an Oakland Athletic.

Mr. October! The first time I really knew him by that name was as a Yankee so I would have to say, as a Yankee!
I wasn't old enough to really know much about him but the first poster I ever saw was him in a Yankees uniform.

I tend to think of Jackson as an Athletic, but there's no doubt he had the biggest highlight of his career in the brightest spotlight the game offers -- a World Series championship-winning game monster performance in Yankee Stadium. So I expect most fans think of his Yankee tenure first.
If you weren't alive to watch it -- and many of you were not -- you missed one hell of a show. Even if you hated the Yankees, this one earned a tip of the cap.

Reggie Jackson is more memorable as a Yankee!

Definitely as a Yankee. And in response to B-rad, people shouldn't think of the Yankees when they think of Jackie Robinson - he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

He's most memorable as an Oriole.
I'm just kidding. Of course he's most memorable as a Yankee.
