Atlantic Coastal Plain Famous People
Have you ever wondered how many famous people are from the Atlantic Coastal Plain? Well there are a lot, like Oliver Evans, Bill Cosby, Reggie Jackson, and Tara Lipinsky. Below you will find two of them listed.
Reggie Jackson was a MLB all star! He was born May 18, 1946 in Wyncote, PA. When he got older, Reggie played for Arizona State University then was drafted by the California Angels, but in 1986 they changed their name to the Oakland Athletics. He stayed there until 1976, which is ten seasons. Then he was traded to the Yankees and stayed there for five seasons. He also played for the Orioles for one season. His final game was October 4, 1987. Reggie's numbers were 31, 9, and 44. I bet you didn't know that he is a cousin of Barry Bonds. Now he is still involved with baseball, but now he is the special adviser to the New York Yankees.
Tara Lipinski is a world famous figure skater! She was born on June 10, 1982 in Philadelphia, PA. Can you believe she started skating when she was three years old? Well, not ice skating, but roller skating. Then when she was six, she made her mom move out to Detroit so she could train for international figure skating competitions. Later, when she was 15, she won a gold medal at the 1998 Olympics. That win put Tara down in history.
