Like I said before, Joey Gathright jumped over a ****ing car, dude. I've never seen Bo do that.

Hall of fame ..famous people. Bo is definitely famous.

So Bo was really just 30 years ahead of the trend?

Aren't most major league players at least a little famous in their home city?

Sounds like Bo was a real prototypical Dayton Moore guy. Low walk numbers and lots of strikeouts!

Bo's injury from football was a tragic one. Oh what could have been.

Do you really not know anything about Bo Jackson other than the back of his baseball card?

About ****ing time for Tallis. He was the Brett Veach of the Royals in the early 70s.

Sam Mellinger righting some wrongs in the front office...

I was 4 when he played his last MLB season. Ive seen the highlights and name another player that never had an elite season, but people are obsessed with them.

WilliamTheIrish has a really good post a few posts back that helped open my eyes.

About ****ing time is absolutely right. Guy should have been inducted over 30 years ago.

Don’t remember what kind of car Joey G leaped over. Depending on the car, Bo could probably have done that. But instead, he’d just go to the drivers side of that car, reach down with hands under the frame and probably flip the damn thing over.

The other thing that I remember well about his defense was he often took incorrect routes to cover fly balls. He could make a mistake and still track it down. And he ran down balls in the gaps not so much by drifting into the gap but by speeding to the ball at a 90° angle to the ball, then diving. And he did that dozens of times. I’m probably not explaining it well.

You said:

Bo was more than a little famous. At one time he was one of the most famous people on earth. And he’s still a legend, almost mythical, like Paul Bunyan. He brought a lot of attention to KC when the Royals weren’t going to the postseason anymore.

He jumped over a Chevy Express Van going 10 miles an hour. He had to jump and jump high with lots of hang time.

Bad news for Jackson Kowar. Probably way too early to call it a success in trading him, but here's to hoping Kyle Wright can come back and positively contribute to next year's team.
