You Don't Know Bo!

You Don't Know Bo!
So since this is my first day off in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, I'm sitting here on ebay while watching some 30 for 30s on Netflix. I just watched the one on Bo Jackson.

Do you guys think he will make the HOF of one sport? Both sports? Neither sport? Let's talk boys!

Perhaps the greatest athlete to ever play. I think the catch he made where he ran up the wall was one of the greatest catches I ever saw. Unfortunately Bo didn't know longevity and didn't play long enough to compile the numbers that otherwise would've given him a shot at the Hall.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

No, but I hope that both halls have an exhibit that features his talent to remind museum goers about his impact.

Loved Bo but he just didnt play long enough to get a spot in either hall.
Might be the most gifted natural athlete we will see in our lifetime

No, he's not a HOF'er in either sport, but he sure was good. I like the bit they did on the Bo Knows Nike Ad's.

career too short in both

but an unreal talent

RE: You Don't Know Bo!
Voted Neither because of longevity, plus his BB numbers don't project out as being HOF worthy.. It's all already been said about his talent. Fun to watch. Twice as good as a football player than baseball. Glad he played for my Raiders!

I think he could have been in football; although an amazing athlete I don't think he was HOF worthy in baseball

one thing about Bo, he always signed during BP.
I never got his auto but he always made sure to sign before the game....unlike griffey

RE: You Don't Know Bo!
I watched that 30 for 30 on ESPN Classic yesterday....and if I wasn't so deep into my Braves collection, I'd collect Bo Jackson....I see a lot of myself in Bo (not the early life or unreal talent, but just personality-wise), and the guy was just unreal in every way. He even had a stutter, which I happen to deal with myself.

Not likely in either HOF based on career length, but he'll be in the HOF of public opinion I hope...
