Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson is stepping down as a special advisor for the New York Yankees, he told the New York Post on Sunday.
"I would say I've stepped back a little bit, taken my retirement, really," Jackson said. "I just think it's time."
Jackson, 74, has served in the role since the late George Steinbrenner named him to the post in 1993. The Steinbrenner family still owns the Yankees.
"I'll never have anything bad to say about George," Jackson said. "It's just time to step back. I want to be around the game, and I want to contribute. I want to leave my knowledge. But it's just time to move on."
