Bo Jackson

I was debating about this with a friend of mine today. He thinks that Bo was over hyped and that his legacy is mostly what could have been. I disagree, Bo was an All Star in two major sports at the same time, and there are plenty of people who he played with or against who admit how physically talented he was.

Bo knows.

I remember when Bo ran through our Seahawks guy Bosworth.   I think that ended his career, Bosworth that is.   He was not the big man everyone thought.

I never followed football or baseball, but I certainly knew who Bo was. Hard to believe you could be a household name and not be legit.

Greatest overall athlete ever, imo.

I’ll always remember the play he took a handoff, ran over two defenders, and ran a 92 yard touchdown.  They clocked the time from the second he got the ball (which of course would have been behind the 8 yard line, to the time he crossed the goal line, in 7.6 seconds.  
 

95 yards, full pads, running over two people, edging toward the sideline……in 7.6 seconds.  
 

He also hit monster home runs, climbed walls to steal home runs, throw runners out with laser beam accurate throws, and broke bats over his head. 
 

Best athlete of all time. He’s both cases of has done and could have been. The freak injury cost a lot.l, but he still did a lot.

I met him several times working at comiskey park.  Class act.  A lot of mlb players were not friendly to fans.  He was not one of those.  He was great.

I remember hearing Hal Reynolds talk about when Bo threw him out at home, and how he didn't realize Bo did it, he was mad because he thought he got thrown out by a relay throw.

He was the all-time best athlete...when we were kids and playing wiffle ball or two hand touch football I was always Bo Jackson.
