what is up everybody I know I always feature pctures but I thought I’d take a quick break to feature the Legendary Power of Bo Jackson here’s Bo Jackson hitting monster bombs against three Hall of Famers the first is against Jack Morris that nearly goes out in one it’s hit a mile a mile and a half oh almost out of everything almost clear out of the ball the second off The Big Unit that’s one of the longest home runs Randy Johnson ever gave up he has exactly 300 at bats right now and exactly 100 strikeouts good or bad I’d say that’s kind of bad this pitch is belted to deep center field and C all look up welcome back B Jackson that ball is wet in the upper tier of the fountain in deep left center field he got a high fast ball and hit it a mile wow it looked like one of my drives have drops about 10 yds short of the green into a pond Mercy that ball hit about 4670 feet I’ll say 500 I’ll go out on the limb and say 500 [Applause] ft pulls up to take a look upper right hand part of your screen to plunk and then here’s this one against Nolan Ryan that was the longest home run that Nolan Ryan ever gave up and so I turned to see where the ball hit because he hit it straight away Center and it’s a longest home run that they’ve measured here in Aron stadium that exhibits what kind of power he has and also when you have a power pitcher with a power hitter if they hit the ball well then uh they’re going to hit some long home runs off of but um you know Bo was a great athlete it’s Shamy got injured because he was getting better as a baseball player and it would have been fun to see what type of career he’ had and what he would have accomplished the night that he hit the longest home run I ever gave up was on the 3-2 count that U he fouled off two fast balls because I didn’t get them up enough and uh the third one when I released it I knew it was down and it was a bad deal because he hit it halfway up the bleachers and dead center field in old oron stadium

Bo Jackson was a cheat code, in both sports he played.
I am so grateful I was able to see Bo play. Just a little context… He did not play any baseball in 1985, because he was deemed ineligible by the NCAA for taking the Tampa private jet sent by the Bucs owner during the NFL draft process. After not playing baseball for a year KC still put him in AA where he played only 53 games before being promoted straight to the majors. In my 48 years I have never seen another athlete like Bo.
One of the best two way athletes ever! Unfortunately, it's what cost him his sports career. I'm glad I lived in a time when athletes like Bo was TRUE athletes! 🇺🇸
Your breakdowns are amazing! And you would get 5 Million subscribers if you expand into many areas if mlb!!!
Just insane that Bo had HOF ability in 2 sports. Truly a gift from God.
MLB All-Star & NFL Pro Bowl. In The Same (Again The Same) Season.
If Bo Jackson Was Playing In 2024 And Again A NFL Pro Bowl Running Back & MLB All-Star, The Legend Would Spend Every Pregame & Post game Being Questioned About HGH Use. Thats How Unreal He Was, But Obviously Bo Jackson One The Worlds Most Amazing Athletes Was A Gift From God.
Hmmmmmm
Prior to Hip Injury – just 511 MLB Gms – 3.15 Seasons (of 162 Gms’ worth)
Nolan Ryan: from E. Murray (504) to Bonds (762) – 28 Players in the 500 HR Club & up – 28 Players
> N. Ryan faced 18 of the 28: he faced 64.3% of what is the Current Top 28 in HRs in MLB History
The #s for perspective
The 18 of the 28 vs N. Ryan
Gms: 151
PA: 466
AB: 382
HR: 16
Hits: 79
Hopefully that provides THE START (of some perspective) of what is the longest HR N. Ryan ever surrendered. Again, Bo just played 3.15 Seasons’ worth of MLB prior to the Hip Injury
We know he hit that nuke in the all-star game, but in the very next commercial break the original 'Bo Knows' commercial aired. You can't plan that, but it just happens for legends.
He was sooooo good
Wow he swings down and gets backspin and it goes a mile. Please notify that obnoxious fat turd Aaron Judge hitting coach that there are many ways to hit a baseball.
He should have stuck to baseball, he'd be in the HOF
If I could pick a body, it would be Bo's. Just a freak of nature.
I got to see Reggie hit one into the old fountains at Kauffman. Both are bombs!
The only man that could have been a HALL OF FAMER in ✌️ Sports. An ABSOLUTE MONSTAH’‼️
Totally agree that Bo Jackson's MLB career was cut short!
The Worlds Greatest Athlete ever….
Royals fan here. That one off of Morris is as far as ive ever seen a ball hit in our stadium. Nothing really even comes close.
I lived near Bo's old neighborhood and worked with a guy who coached in Babe Ruth (equivalent) league against Jackson.
After Bo swung and missed on two curves in the dirt, the pitcher felt his Wheaties and sent an eye height 80mph heater up there.
Bo hit it over the 400 ft CF fence, the ball hit a tree 40 ft past the fence and it bounced back into the park.
Wow, Jack Morris.
