"You don't know Bo."

[KCFalcon59]

It was quite the scene when he came to KC as a faider. The crowd just went crazy. Throwing plastic footballs, baseballs on the field. Nuts. Still wish the Chiefs would have had the smarts to draft him the year after he snubbed TB.

The best baseball player ever, the throw out of Harold Reynolds in Seattle on a Friday night. The look on Darnell Coles face was priceless in the on-deck circle.

In the end, he was a Raider too.

It was hard for me, but in the end God struck him down for being a Raider.

Bo's career NFL stats per game are similar to Larry Johnson's if Bo played entire seasons.

He is a GOD on Tecmo Super Bowl.

Bo's book, "Bo Knows' is one of my favorite sports biographies. It hit the perfect blend of borderline mythology and anecdotal evidence. Probably what got me knowing about Bo was Techmo Bowl. From there I had to see that actual guy which is what turned me on to football.

I watched the documentary last night, and while it wasn't as good as the book, I got to watch it with my kids and answer alot of questions for them. It was great nostalgia and a chance to revel in one of the last mythical sports figures ever. It is tough in the world of You Tube and helicopter parents and scouts for a mythology to grow in the imagination of the public like it did with Bo.

Anyone who wasn't around to see the man play in person, or old enough to remember his playing and watching it, can't comment on the sheer euphoria that was Bo Jackson.
A younger sports fan has never, nor will ever "experience" anything like him again. Yes, the greatest "what if", but was the most amazing "He did". And all with class and humility, something today's sports fans again, has never and will never experience again.

Caught the 30 for 30 last night...

I was at the game when Bo hit the longest home run at Royals stadium...it was amazing at how high the ball went. Seemed like a pop fly, but it just kept going up and up.

I worked at Royals/Chiefs stadiums back in 1986 and 1987 and I remember the first time that Bo came up from Memphis...he took some batting practice before the gates opened for that nights game. We all stopped to watch him. I remember him hitting one what seemed like 10ft short of the scoreboard in straight away center.

It's funny to think that a great athlete like that would play baseball in KC...that certainly wouldnt happen in this day and age. He'd have been a Red Sox or Yankee.

I'll never forget the time the camera zooms in on Bo playing outfield.
Between batters, Bo is scrutinizing the Bazooka Joe comic from his bubblegum.

With Bo, baseball was always an adventure. There was an excitement when he came to the plate no other player could match; even when he struck out it was amazing.

I was at the game he ran over Rick Dempsey at home plate, I remember Dempsey tumbling backwards and landing outside the dirt circle but it looks he actually didn't go that far but at the time seemed like it.
