Usually in any discussion of Bo, you run into someone who starts braying about his stats not seeming all that awesome.
If he had concentrated on one sport he would have been a super-superstar in that sport.
And besides that (and I don't know how to explain it exactly) his talent went far, far beyond mere statistics. He did things that were just superhuman. He was the Incredible Hulk, he was Superman, he was the Flash, all rolled into one...hell, he climbed outfield walls like Spiderman. To watch him was to learn how little statistics mean in sports. About the only valid description of Bo Jackson would be "What the hell did I just see?!?!?!"
Why in the name of all that is holy did fate in the form of injury take him away from us so quickly?
