Bo Jackson named greatest athlete of all time
http://royals.mlblogs.com/2013/03/04...=fb_content_KC
Royals fans knew they were watching a once-in-a-generation athlete. Now, ESPN’s Sport Science has weighed in, naming former two-sport superstar and Royals outfielder Bo Jackson the “Greatest Athlete of All Time”. The Sport Science study looked at many attributes, including speed, power and reaction time. Jackson earned the nod from the Sport Science panel, beating out the legendary Jim Brown. ESPN will air a “Sport Science Greatest Athlete of All Time” special next Sunday, March 10, at 2:30 CT. A poll is currently online at ESPN.com, with Jackson and Michael Jordan in a close race for the fan vote : http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/feat...atestofalltime |

He was the best RB I have ever seen play the game. Power and speed combined in one player that has never been seen before or since. AND the fugger could play baseball too?!?
yeah, he was a great athlete. Jim Thorpe is the only guy I can think of that would be in the same discussion.

Played basketball ran track and played baseball at Syracuse.
One time left in the middle of football practice to run 2 events in a track meet, won then went back to practice. I know you may be sarcastic about lacrosse but they made a major rule change in lacrosse because of him. When you are so good they have to change the rules that says something. |

I have a Bo Jackson story that for some reason, doesn't get a lot of press.
At a Royals game one time, I swear I saw Bo snag a line drive to left field on the run, backhanded, with his bare hand. We all just kind of went . |

Hard to believe Bo Jackson is 60 years old today, happy birthday to one of the greatest athletes of all time.
