Popular Post section314 Posted November 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2019 Other than the late, great Jackie Robinson, whom I was never privileged to see play in person, there is no other athlete as great as Bo was. Every now and then, when his story is on ESPN's 30 for 30, you just realize what a freak he was. It's actually pretty scary. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I watched him hit a homer in his first at bat as a member of the White Sox. Ball landed about 30 feet from me. It was vs the Yankees too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the coaches hated that he would rarely show up to practice at Auburn. Not a "once in a generation" athlete....really a "once every 1,000 years" athlete. Could also throw a strike to the catcher on a clothesline from the outfield wall, hit HRs 500 feet with ease and that was playing RIGHT AFTER football season. Not even taking a break. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gifted, speed, arm, power, could hit a baseball. Literally anything athletic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If he came out of retirement he'd be the best RB in the league right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Best Bo moment was during the height of the steroids scandal in baseball, and they asked Bo if he ever took them: "No. I didn't need to." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maury77 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 What all of you guys said. I'm 42 and I've never seen an athlete like Bo in team sports (not even Deon or LeBron). He's what I pictured Jim Brown to have looked like in his hey day (I have no idea because Brown was before my time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
