I once saw BO Jackson in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot sign memorabilia for a crowd of 200 kids after a night game - holding up the team bus. The entire parking lot was chanting Bo’s name for two hours. He signed my card first, and I still have it.

My wife and I were living in Montgomery, Alabama and we were having dinner at a neighbor’s house. Their son-in-law was an Auburn grad and attended Auburn when Bo was there. I asked him if he thought Bo was getting paid to play at Auburn. He said…”well if he was he wasn’t spending any of it”. I then said…”why do you say that”. He then said…”well I was working part-time as a cashier at Winn-Dixie and I checked him out one night and he had 5lbs of chittlins and a case Check Cola”!

I lived in Kansas City when Bo played for the Royals. In person, at the game, I've never seen a person run to first base as fast as Bo...effortlessly....to this day. How far and quick the ball would travel when he'd hit home runs is another discussion of superior power. He was amazing!!

Ah, that's nothing. I was in Manhattan when Bo scaled the Empire State Building wearing nothing but gym shorts, then he leaped from the top of the ESB to the next closest skyscraper and slid down it all the way to the street, landed on his feet as soft as a cat, and ordered five hot dogs with extra relish from a street vender.

I initially wondered if Bo had died when I keyed this up. In fact I've never heard of a living person spoken of like this before. It is analogous to stories about Beowulf, Arthur, Robin or El Cid. Like others I wonder what would have happened if he'd stuck with baseball, rather than also playing football and getting injured.
