On the afternoon of her death, while the world was reacting to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, baseball legend Reggie Jackson was having fun with his connection to her.
In case you're not quite as old as I am, here's a little context for the tweets below...in the 1988 comedy The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad, Leslie Nielsen is a cop trying to stop a plot where a mind-controlled Reggie Jackson is being used to kill the Queen. The plot ultimately fails in the movie, but Jackson is just making sure people are clear that he did not assassinate the Queen back in 1988.
Check out the classic trailer below.
