"You don't know Bo."

I'm not a Royals fan, but for those of you who are/were, was it hard to like Bo?


In the end, he was a Raider too.

I was pissed he went to the raiders. Of course, I would have loved for him to play across the parking lot.

Used to drive me insane as a kid trying to make sense of it. I just couldn't understand how he could play in both places.

Still not sure I completely understand....

Yep, I loved him during baseball season but hated him during football season. Still, he's one of the greats

Bo Jackson was the most exciting player I've ever watched wear Royals blue. Of course he was no George Brett in his career, but I just couldn't wait to watch him...whether he was throwing someone out, hitting a ball 450 feet, stealing a base, or scaling a wall.

Bo was exciting when at bat. Or when he finally tracked down a slow grounder to left field that went between his legs and he would throw it from the warning track to home plate.

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

I thought that was pretty well done, although not a ton of earth shattering info and moved pretty slow.

Where older Royals fans enthralled with Bo? Or was he an above average baseball player?

He really wasn't a complete baseball player, he struck out too much, but you had to watch because he would do crazy shit.

Yep. His highlights were off the hook, but he never came close to reaching his potential as a baseball player. To this day, I think he would have been a HOFer in either sport if he picked one and stuck to it, but by trying to do both, he ended up just being a footnote.

It's all a joke. Whitlock likes to make jokes like that. It's just what he does.

He's joking. He causes quite the stir though. It's kind of a schtick he has.

Thanks for bogarting what I said.

He was more fun to watch as Bo the athlete as he was Bo the baseball player
