It isn't as much Bo Jackson the finished player that I am thinking of, but Bo Jackson the tool box. Bo had insane speed. The legends of his home to first and his 40 yard times are crazy. 4.13 40 yard, and home to first rumored in something like 3.8. Bo hit the ball further than just about anyone in his time, in a era when just about everyone else was juicing, and still not hitting them nearly as far. His raw power was off the charts. The ASG homer is historic. Bo Jackson's arm was crazy. The clip of his gunning someone down at home from the DEEP OF, is still floating around out there. Mix all of those together, and the similarities from there also include that Luis never got get quality baseball training until the last few years, so he came in RAW, with flashes of those tools just leaving jaws dropped. For me THAT is where the Bo Jackson comp comes from.

Was it in Alvin?

My mom actually took care of his mom when we lived down there at the Pasadena hospital back in like 81 or 82. She came home and asked me if I knew who Nolan Ryan was, and I about had a meltdown when she told me she didn't get an autograph, lol. He lived like two towns over from where i lived when I was down there. Never heard a bad thing about the guy.

Nolan is my all time favorite baseball player, and Robin is my all time favorite White Sox player. Honestly it wouldn't shock me if Nolan could still hit 90.

Nolan Ryan is also a cattle rancher and one of the toughest guys out there, Robin never had a chance.

The walk off grand slam against Goose Gossage is the one I will never forget.

Yes, but Biden is the senile one.

Eloy Jimenez

If they can play a full season, it will be really hard to say it was good enough to crown a champion, but not a 1st pick.

True. I still miss the guy I grew up with.

Watch it. There are people on Soxtalk who feel that comedy is best left to the comedians.

How long until he tweets the next stupid thing to distract from this?

If this season keeps going the way that it has, James Shields will be on a roster soon enough.

Way too much hype around Broadway to bring him back.

As a broadcaster to take so many visual cues from things away from the main action that you just don't get when you are watching it on tv like these guys are. They can't see defensive alignments. They can't see body language. They can't see stirring in the pen, etc. You lose so much visual information to use in the broadcast.

oh crap, I forgot we fans can't be enjoying this.
