@BleacherReport: A Yankees scout flew to Alabama, saw HS junior Bo Jackson take one swing and said, "I've seen enough." #BRmag…

The ESPN special they did in him was awesome.

I live in Columbus and they are opening a Bo Jackson training center here in a suburb. Pretty cool that he still enjoys name recognition.

A unique individual
A unique physical specimen
A unique athlete

A true freak of nature

Enjoyed that read - thanks for posting.

In the end Bo Jackson was the classic example of get the money as soon as you can if you are an elite athlete. He had so many gifts but in the end his potential was unrealized because of the degenerative hip injury that happened so early in his career.

As awesome a physical specimen as he was, he is more known for an advertising campaign than his post Auburn athletic accomplishments.

Maybe someday there will be a similar article about Jawuan Harris.
