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.

I think this post is from 09, but I remember copying and pasting it again from a thread in 05. It's one one of those events you had to see to know it was true. And to this day, it was one of the greatest shows of arm strength in baseball I've ever seen.

Just watched this and I thought it was awesome.
Bo was my first sports hero as a kid, but I forgot how special he was. It got to the part where he was making arrows in his basement and then DVR stopped recording because it ran over in time due to stupid Heisman trophy ceremony. |

Our season tickets were just past 3rd base. Got to see him miss balls constantly. Sucked at fielding. |

Bo threw to he wrong base a bunch struck out a ton and infielders refused to go to the outfield after balls because that trucker was running in hard.

I was just behind Darren Sproles in sprints in high school. We were on the same basketball team and raced every day at practice during our sprints. Just couldn't get over the hump and beat him. Now days...he'd beat me by a mile. Since ya know...he became a professional football player and I became a pot & cigarette smoking graphic designer who plays video games of professional football players.

If Bo didn't get hurt, he would have been right in his prime during the 1994 season when the Royals had a world class pitching staff - Cone, Appier, Gubiza.

Touchdown, Bo Jackson! They made a shirt with that image from Tecmo Bowl, of him spiking the football in the end zone. I have it.

Bo could simply do things other human beings can't do.
