I was never a baseball fan, but caught Kirby on TV by accident one day. There was just something about him that ignited an interest in baseball after that. I was born into an Auburn household so Bo was greatly loved before he hit the pros. It broke my heart for him when he got hurt. My son, born in 82, grew up hearing me talk about Bo. A few years ago he got the chance to see some of these clips and had to admit I wasn’t exaggerating. Bo will always be the GOAT to me.

I was most fortunate to see Bo play perhaps 7 times in KC..the stadium was bored until his name came over speaker..the stadium would stand up..I remember when he set up in box, two things would happen shortly, a strikeout or HR...his bat speed was so great, if he made contact..the ball was going to go..then my mom got a job working for a KC area photographer, one of his clients was the Jackson family. My mom met him several times and held his then newborn baby..they were doing family portraits..she said he most polite and just a nice man..she was surprised alittle how he walked amd talked in a humble way..he is polar opposite to the glory addicts that saturate professional sports Tóday..

Had a poster of him with his shoulder pads on and a bat stretched over the back of his neck with his hands on the ends of the bat. He inspired me to rush for a lot of touchdowns and hit a lot of home runs and throw guys out and run over them in high school... He had another decade of highlight reels left in him, easily. EASILY.

Those weren't bat boys or grounds keepers. Those were the best players of the era, and some all time greats that were like little kids talking as if had caught a lucky glimpse of their hero. You could see how awkward the cam can make other muscular men look when Canseco does his impression of a pregnant goose while Bo helps himself to an in park round trip. Bo looked like raw talent still learning how to stand in the box sometimes, then jack one 450. At his worst though, he never looked like Canseco. Its easy to get too muscle bound for the game. That's what made him so Impressive. To me anyway. That is not a baseball body, but he made it work.

This is awesome, and Bo Jackson is the awesomist, but also it's worth pointing out that 6:36 Wally Joyner is and always will be 11 years old.

I was thinking they all looked child like. Especially Mattingly, and Joyner. Wally looked like an excited bat boy. Bo made pros Major League All Star rosters giddy. and still made a bitch out of Boz who had become a punk by then, and needed it. Be the time he did Stone Cold he wasn't a douche anymore. Land of Boz was a cool poster that stayed on same wall with 2 Bo's. Never stopped liking the guy, he just needed a little BoHog attitude adjustment.

Bo was a freak. If he would have stayed with Baseball a shitload of records would have been broken.

Jim Abbott pride of Flint Mi. I always thought Deon was showing off but Bo was just a natural beast.

A small note of caution - Bo Jackson was known in his early teens as a baseball prospect with 400-career-home run potential. When you start to imagine that someone with a football background could just switch over to baseball and succeed in the game like Bo did, well, Bo didn't just decide to play baseball in his early 20s. Nor did Deion Sanders. It's not that easy to switch sports and make the bigs.

Probably the best throw in baseball history

Bo hits what might be a triple for someone of excellent speed but for him it's an inside the park HR. And when he slides into home base he's flat on his back, but he quickly does this flip jump from his back with his legs shooting upward and lands on his feet--a Bruce Lee move for Bo in cleats and full uniform. Bo knows what only Bo knows.

He's one of the reasons Baseball is a great game. Wally Joyner a great Halo, and to this day, Bo is the best Baseball and Football player I got to see live in both sports. No one today measures up. No one will in my lifetime I'm sure

Was at Memorial Stadium when he ran/walked up the wall.
