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'm surprised by that interaction with Bo Jackson. I got his autograph as a kid outside the K twice. This was at the peak of his fame. Bo was pretty much the only player who stopped walking to their car to take time to sign for a large amount of kids all while dragging his young son behind him.

A friend in college had a little brother who was in the same grade as one of Bo's kids at school. I guess they had gone to birthday parties at Bo's house. Said it was a great even and the whole family was super nice.

Ya we were shocked, too.
