No. The Sox and Yankees of Jackson's stint in the Bronx were even.
The Sox and Yankees tied in the regular season in 78, and the Yankees edged them by 2-1/2 games in 77.
The Sox beat Oakland in the 75 ALCS--swept them, in fact. Jackson was still with the A's then.
Rice came up in 75.
The Yankees won the pennant in 76 without Jackson, who was traded to Baltimore by the A's after 75.
How do you figure they were "more talented"?
