thedoctor Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 not sure if this belongs here or the diamond club, but this is a great read: bo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Borch Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 That was an excellent read, really makes me want to see some footage of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Bo Jackson was one hell of an athlete. He was a better running back then ball player, but when he did hit the ball, he hit it hard. In Techmo Bowl, he was unreal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Bo Jackson was, without a doubt, the best athlete to ever play baseball, and probably the best athlete of the 20th century. I'll go to the grave defending that position. For the younger guys in this forum, you should grab some old footage of when he was with Kansas City. I remember one game against the White Sox, he hit a hard 2 hopper to Scotty Fletcher at short (this is when KC was on turf). Scotty fielded it cleanly, patted his glove and FIRED and hard as he could to first. Got Bo by maybe 1/4 of a step. I have never seen a faster, more powerful specimen in my life.

vandy125 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 My brother had every single rookie card of Bo's that he could find. I was kind of young when he was playing, but I do remember him running on the wall in Kansas City. That was crazy! I also had a baseball game with him on Sox. Since it was after his injury, he was slow as can be, but could hit the ball a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it was MLBPA baseball for the SNES. I loved that game. Frank Thomas, Robin Ventura, Lance Johnson, Bo Jackson, Joey Cora, Ozzie Guillen, Black Jack, Alex Fernandez, etc.. One of the best teams that I had seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with ya in that he is the greatest ahlete I have ever seen I think if he had a full time commitment to football and didn't have that injury we might be talking about him as the all time greatest running back. I remember all of the plays he made in the OF while playing for the Royals and also he had a cannon for a arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I remember this old baseball game I think from 93 for the Sega Game Gear... Never had so much fun before. Always the White Sox.

Balta1701 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Actually saw a guy in the mall in Arcadia, CA a few weeks ago wearing a #8 Jackson White Sox Jersey. In excellent shape. Went up to him and complimented him on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
