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? |
Anyone remember him catching a fly ball in the outfield with his bare hand? That one's my favorite.

I remember him beating out Chuck Long for the Heisman.
Chuck Long was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy to Bo Jackson of Auburn in the second closest race in the award's history, losing by just 45 points. It went to the right guy. |

The Chiefs were only really good one season he played against us: 1990 Looks like he only played 4 games against the Chiefs and never really had a big game: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...Bo00/gamelog// |
All star home run is my favorite Bo memory.
|
Looking forward to this one, I still have my Hit/Run shirt.

Bo Jackson was my hero as a kid. My first baseball card, which got me into "collecting" in which I sank a ton of money. http://ebid.s3.amazonaws.com/upload_...78-7490-28.jpg |

Documentary on Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders in the same week, both my all time sports heroes.
JIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |
He's probably the greatest athlete I've ever met and one of the biggest jerks as well.
|
I remember going to Royals games and flipping Bo shit for picking his nose in the outfield, he would flip us off, lolz. Barry Sanders was my alltime favorite, best of alltime.

Header says Dec. 9th but at the end of the video it says Dec. 8th.
This should be a good one. ESPN does a good job with the 30 for 30 shows. |
