StatManDu Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) MARCH 24 ANOTHER STEP IN THE COMEBACK 1993: The White Sox exercised the option on outfielder-designated hitter Bo Jackson, assuring that Jackson and his artificial hip would make the 25-man roster. This may have been a foregone conclusion since the team had been using Bo and his plastic hip in ads to sell season tickets. Regardless, the man had come all the way back from a potentially debilitating hip injury. Jackson would make history when he became the first player with an artificial hip to play and homer in a big league game when he went deep on his first swing of the season in the Comiskey Park opener April 9.
