Bo was his favorite player right up until that moment. After, he traded away all his Bo baseball cards because of the interaction. Thinking I may still have a few of them in the attic (of course I capitalized, who wouldn't? it's freaking Bo Jackson).

I coached little league for several years with Steve Crawfords brother and nephew. Steve and Bo are best friends to this day and they describe him as a nice guy, but a guy who never wanted the attention. Any time they see him they come back with a handful of signed cards. They say he'll hand them out spontaneously but it gets weird when someone asks. As someone who doesn't like the spotlight on them I can kind of relate.
