“Literally, my own strength ended my football career.. anyone else who does that is out for a few weeks but my enormous leg muscles damaged my hip too badly…”
The kid still has no clue at the end of the conversation. Very funny. That kid latter on that day is Going to. freak out when he watches a few highlight reels.
@@andytuesday500 I saw Bo play once with the Raiders (must’ve been December 1990). Ever watch an athletic contest where it’s clear to the naked eye that one player is much better than everyone else playing? That’s what I saw that day.
i cant explain why but whenever a coach starts hitting your hat like that while talking about when he played sports thats when you know you got a real coach who loves the game and wants younger players to love and enjoy it just like he did
No clouds in the sky, a green grass field, and a little guy talking to a legend while he explains who he is without arrogance or any inflated sense of himself. Prime example of excellent coaching, without coaching.
Definitely a bit of inflated ego there. He wasn't explaining it to the kid because it mattered. He was explaining so the kid would be appropriately impressed
Kid: "how long did you play there?" Bo: "...I played for Kansas City, the Chicago White Sox and the California Angels and I played with the Raiders...the Heisman Trophy...that's the best college football player in the country...I won that...I played football on the professional level...I'm the only player to make it to the pro bowl in football and the all star game in baseball and I'm the MVP of the all star game...so I've been there..." How is that not arrogant??? The kid tells him his dad plays for Kansas City and Bo, unasked, gives him his resume.
Wow! I knew Bo Jackson was great and now I know he is also so nice and sweet, so he's even more great! The kid was respectful, what a nice young man. :)
I just came across this - to a non-sports person it sounds like Bo was bragging to a kid. To those of us who grew up watching Bo, he was being quite modest. He is literally top 5 greatest athletes to walk the planet.
Yeah I’m British and all I’m thinking is the kid doesn’t care, and neither do I. He seemed like a nice guy, but it’s just history at this point. Do you care about the games in the 1800’s?
@@jordan3400 In the US Bo Jackson is regarded as possibly the most athletic human being ever born (pre-injury). Sounds kinda weird to worship a guy like this but it’s comparable to having met Pele or Maradona
I'm just a couple years older than Bo but that made it possible to know what an amazing athlete this guy was. Frankly, I haven't seen anyone even close to his diverse athletic abilities. What with that, its an awful shame we were all denied the opportunity to see him play out his athletic career. Looking back now, I wish he had just stuck with baseball so that we could witness his athletic achievement in full.
Dang, this reminds me of the movie The Wrestler, when Randy "The Ram" is trying to get the neighborhood kid to play the old NES wrestling game with him, which stars himself, and the kid was like "*sigh* This game is so OLD....", and he tries again in a later scene, and the kid is like "Nah...Maybe later...". We will all be forgotten, or rather, never known :(
Well his father was an extremely good baseball player who is extremely well traveled and brings his son to every MLB practice and game. So chances are, he’s had conversations like this with former presidents lol.
There’s no reason to think he’s lying, Bo hasn’t been a household name since the mid-90s. I first heard of Dick Allen THIS WEEK, and he’s a borderline HOFer. You may know of all the HOFers who were before your time, you you don’t know every since player or story.
This is a lesson to stay humble. It proves that you could be the best there ever was, and the kids won't care. For them, 2 years ago is ancient history. The 80s might as well have been during the French Revolution.
huarachudo47 Yeah, didn't Bo let him know ALL about it, too. Like my Dad said, "Just do your job and let others talk FOR you." When I was a sprinter in high school our track coach invited his friend 'Harry' to come and help us with form, baton passing, etc. He beat us all in a 50 yd dash wearing street shoes. He was in his 40s. Turns out his friend 'Harry' was Harrison Dillard. Olympic Gold metalist. 'Harry' never mentioned a WORD of his own accomplishments. THAT'S what 'class' is all about.

Bo will always be a superhero to me. Lifelong Raiders fan, growing up cheering for the LA Raiders with Bo and Allen in the backfield. The good old days🏴☠️
I never seen a guy come off as so nice and humble when he is essentially bragging about himself. Lol. Bo seems like a really cool guy. What a lucky kid.
I think he is lucky for having a dad like Adam LaRoche who would have him travel with the team. As soon as the team told LaRoche he couldn't have his son with him, he quit MLB.
if he humblebragged it was in the most modest way possible. Had his career not been cut short by injuries Bo Jackson would've been talked about as the most accomplished athlete in modern times. Michael Jordan for example is touted as the greatest basketball player, but he was horrible at baseball. Bo Jackson was just amazing at anything he enjoyed. Had he been born in a different area where basketball was the predominant sport I have no doubt he'd be a superstar in the NBA, instead, his home of Alabama is more football and baseball oriented
@@DownInNebraska The saying is "wouldn't have" as in "would not have." "wouldn't of" isn't a thing and highlights your ignorance. Having said that, you have no idea if Bo would be good at basketball or not, not to mention, your opinion has already been rendered useless.
I don’t even think the kid could take him seriously because it sounds so ridiculous, probably thought the old man was joking until he googled his name. He couldn’t understand the gravity of the moment but I bet you he’ll never forget it once he realizes who he was.
@take flight You're gonna gloss over the fact that he fought at 48 with no experience. And I doubt many of RB could qualify for the bobsled team. Lol, at comparing Henry to Walker.

When I was close to this kid's age, my father took me to the local mall because a former baseball player was there signing autographs. He instructed me to get a nice looking ball, and hop in the car. When we got there, I was surprised to see such a huge line for a player I'd never heard of before. After briefly saying hello, and getting my ball signed, I felt lucky to be part of such a big deal, even though at the time, I didn't fully grasp it. It was later that I understood the gravity. I had just met Hank Aaron, the REAL home run king. Still have the ball.... over 30 years later.
He doesn't have to believe him, just look it up lol. Poor lil dude just doesn't know he's talking to an all around athlete who's did it all. He'll learn 😂
“So..I’ve been there.” Bo is the man. His 30 for 30 was excellent. Most of the stories you hear about him seem like myths. Watch any of his highlights. They were most definitely true.
If you were around in 80s-90s there was no one better. He was a superstar in 2 sports. Sad kids don't know who he is because it didn't last long enough.
"I played for the Royals, the White Sox, and the Angels... and the Raiders." let's throw an NFL team in there too, and see if this kid is paying attention to my boring story

I'm not gonna lie if I was that kid I would have been thinking "next thing he is gonna tell me is he was visited by aliens". I bet Bo KNOWS ALIENS.
Him playfully hitting the kids hat at the end is hilarious cuz he’s like I need you to understand you’re talking to a legend right now youngin 😂

Outside of guys who walked on the moon, Bo wins every conversation.
If they wouldve let him. im convinced he couldve done that too and prob hit a ball all the way back to earth somehow LOL
Only difference is that Bo really did what he did.
Let's have Musk change that. Get Bo to space
Except bo actually did what he claims. Masons don’t walk on moons. You kids will believe everything you see on tv
the moon is weak af
The purest athletic ability ever this man ran so fast and strong absolutely a beast
It's like standing next to Clark Kent not knowing he is really SuperMan.
YES!!
He really should have a cape.
Absolutely the best analogy. Grown men would do almost anything to stand there and talk to BO JACKSON and the kids like ho hum.
So true
Bo actually made an appearance with Clark Kent!

Kid.....Dad, do you know a guy named Bo Jackson? He told me to ask you, have you heard of him?
Me.....GET OUT!
@@StephenKershaw1 haha, I would normally agree with you. But for some reason, I have a soft spot for Bo Jackson, dude was a phenom.

Bo was an insane athlete and Auburn is very very proud of him, wish he’d played for the Skins in his prime. A gentleman and all around awesome person.
You mean the Commanders. Referring to them as the “Skins” is offensive and hurtful. You should be ashamed. 😆😆
Bo: “You know Aaron Judge?”
Kid: “Yea”

Why would he ask Bo for his own autograph, and not for Bos autograph?
@@GardEngebretsen “he asked me for my autograph” meaning “Aaron asked Bo for Bo’s autograph”
@@Ravelle17 sad you gotta explain that one
I'm dead this kid sounds like he doesn't believe him
Shorty is like... yeah whatever.
He absolutely doesn't.
Would you?
Or he doesnt know what he's talking about
Especially when he starts slapping the brim of his hat 😂😂😂 I woulda been like wtf this guy is so dumb to think I'd believe anything he's saying. Granted my stepdad would always lie about playing football and basketball at a professional level.
Bo failed to mention his greatest accolade... that he was unstoppable in Tecmo Bowl
A beast for sure! 🤣😁
Totally unstoppable.
Option right
Pretty much cheating when playing with him!
I've got him...I've got him.... Ok. Nope. I guess I don't got him.
“Literally, my own strength ended my football career.. anyone else who does that is out for a few weeks but my enormous leg muscles damaged my hip too badly…”
Bo smacking his cap kills me everytime 🤣
If there's anyone that deserve to brag, it's Bo Jackson.
To a nine year old? What a clown.
Amen! Dude is a God

The kid still has no clue at the end of the conversation. Very funny. That kid latter on that day is Going to. freak out when he watches a few highlight reels.
@@andytuesday500 I saw Bo play once with the Raiders (must’ve been December 1990). Ever watch an athletic contest where it’s clear to the naked eye that one player is much better than everyone else playing? That’s what I saw that day.
It is actualy sad. The sad truth of this life.
@@georgedavis8412 o yeah. I watch highlights of the greats all the time.
In 30 years this kid is going to look back on this moment as one of his coolest memories.
i cant explain why but whenever a coach starts hitting your hat like that while talking about when he played sports thats when you know you got a real coach who loves the game and wants younger players to love and enjoy it just like he did
Bo: Have you ever won?
Kid: yea
Bo: I invented that
Hahaha
No clouds in the sky, a green grass field, and a little guy talking to a legend while he explains who he is without arrogance or any inflated sense of himself. Prime example of excellent coaching, without coaching.
really is happiness
Definitely a bit of inflated ego there. He wasn't explaining it to the kid because it mattered. He was explaining so the kid would be appropriately impressed
@All_22_NFL_Cuts ok.. so what was the purpose of telling the kid?🤔
@All_22_NFL_Cuts was that knowledge somehow useful to that kid's training?
Kid: "how long did you play there?"
Bo: "...I played for Kansas City, the Chicago White Sox and the California Angels and I played with the Raiders...the Heisman Trophy...that's the best college football player in the country...I won that...I played football on the professional level...I'm the only player to make it to the pro bowl in football and the all star game in baseball and I'm the MVP of the all star game...so I've been there..."
How is that not arrogant??? The kid tells him his dad plays for Kansas City and Bo, unasked, gives him his resume.
Wow! I knew Bo Jackson was great and now I know he is also so nice and sweet, so he's even more great! The kid was respectful, what a nice young man. :)
Still humble Still Full of humility.
Bo: “You know your mom?”
Kid: “Yeah.”
Bo: “I’ve been there.”
Kid: “Dad?”
Underrated comment
😂
😂😂
This comment deserves more appreciation
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kid: “So you played baseba...”
Bo: “Yes i played football professionally” 😂
Bo: Football on the professional level yes
I thought he was just finishing the kid's thought, he was gonna say "so you played baseball **and** football?"
If Bo Jackson casually told me he could throw a football over them mountains, I would believe him.
I was a teenager watching Bo in his prime. It’s almost like he was a video game character
Oh, there were quite a few video games where he *was* the main character.
The kid was so respectful, I bet he became a fan for life when he realised that he had a conversation with the most OP athlete in history.
No he wasn’t lol. Another stuck up baseball kid 😂
Especially with that guy assaulting him like that, I would sue if some guy did that to my son, he should also be charged for hate crime.
@@SDRockman say sike rn
Kid goes home an watches the Bo Jackson highlight reel on CZcams.
HOLEY SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!
The most "OP" athlete? Ugh, this generation and their annoying buzz words. 🙄
Bo: " you ever wonder why your sister looks half black?"
Kid: " yeah"
Bo: "I did that."
hahahaha
Don't be racist, it's half white
This is the funniest comment I’ve seen in a while.
Lmao my sides are hurting
"Bo knows"
I met him once in a gym working out back in the 90s. Very humble man.
Bo knows football, Bo knows baseball, Bo knows history.
The CZcams algorithm will find this kid years later. Just to remind him.
Hopefully.
It did. This video is 5 years old
Just hit my feed lol
james grey hhahahaah
Ahaha that is the realest comment
I just came across this - to a non-sports person it sounds like Bo was bragging to a kid. To those of us who grew up watching Bo, he was being quite modest. He is literally top 5 greatest athletes to walk the planet.
Truth
Yeah I’m British and all I’m thinking is the kid doesn’t care, and neither do I. He seemed like a nice guy, but it’s just history at this point. Do you care about the games in the 1800’s?
@@jordan3400 Good point. It's kinda like that stupid Royal King, Queen, Prince nonsense you Limeys worship.
@@jordan3400 In the US Bo Jackson is regarded as possibly the most athletic human being ever born (pre-injury). Sounds kinda weird to worship a guy like this but it’s comparable to having met Pele or Maradona
@@baore2422 I think it's weird to worship any guy who plays with balls.
I'm just a couple years older than Bo but that made it possible to know what an amazing athlete this guy was. Frankly, I haven't seen anyone even close to his diverse athletic abilities. What with that, its an awful shame we were all denied the opportunity to see him play out his athletic career. Looking back now, I wish he had just stuck with baseball so that we could witness his athletic achievement in full.
Dang, this reminds me of the movie The Wrestler, when Randy "The Ram" is trying to get the neighborhood kid to play the old NES wrestling game with him, which stars himself, and the kid was like "*sigh* This game is so OLD....", and he tries again in a later scene, and the kid is like "Nah...Maybe later...".
We will all be forgotten, or rather, never known :(
So wild to think this kid has no idea who Bo is. Probably thinks he's lying.
he dont know Bo
Well his father was an extremely good baseball player who is extremely well traveled and brings his son to every MLB practice and game. So chances are, he’s had conversations like this with former presidents lol.
"Dad, this old fat dude at your practice said he played baseball and football and was heisman, pro bowl, all star something blah blah"
There’s no reason to think he’s lying, Bo hasn’t been a household name since the mid-90s. I first heard of Dick Allen THIS WEEK, and he’s a borderline HOFer. You may know of all the HOFers who were before your time, you you don’t know every since player or story.
When that kid researches Bo Jackson and he's going to go, wow the guy was a beast.
Bo: “You ever see a superhero run up a wall?”
Kid: “Yeah”
Bo: “I’ve done that”
Bleh
Did you ever hear of the greatest athlete in sports history kid? That was me.
This is a lesson to stay humble. It proves that you could be the best there ever was, and the kids won't care. For them, 2 years ago is ancient history. The 80s might as well have been during the French Revolution.
Yes, but still reading about it 1000 years later 🤣🥃🔥
Kid, you just talked to one of the greatest athletes of all time.
I wish I could meet and chat with Bo. That 4 year period or so he was a his elite level was so great to watch.
huarachudo47
Yeah, didn't Bo let him know ALL about it, too. Like my Dad said, "Just do your job and let others talk FOR you."
When I was a sprinter in high school our track coach invited his friend 'Harry' to come and help us with form, baton passing, etc. He beat us all in a 50 yd dash wearing street shoes. He was in his 40s. Turns out his friend 'Harry' was Harrison Dillard. Olympic Gold metalist. 'Harry' never mentioned a WORD of his own accomplishments. THAT'S what 'class' is all about.
one of? who is a greater athlete than Bo?
Try someone like Michael Phelps
130starfish ...yeah, Bo vs Bronco in an athletic competition...I can only wonder the outcome.
“You ever heard of sports in the 80s?”
Kid: “Yeah”
“I was sports in the 80s”

@Blue Jazz Can you put these in order, from least to most- tad, smidge, speck, grain, none...?
Never played for any team I cheered for as a kid, but Bo is my favorite athlete of all time.
Bo will always be a superhero to me. Lifelong Raiders fan, growing up cheering for the LA Raiders with Bo and Allen in the backfield. The good old days🏴☠️

I think he is lucky for having a dad like Adam LaRoche who would have him travel with the team. As soon as the team told LaRoche he couldn't have his son with him, he quit MLB.
It's hard for Bo to explain who he is without #humblebrag. This man's life is literally a towering feat of athleticism
if he humblebragged it was in the most modest way possible. Had his career not been cut short by injuries Bo Jackson would've been talked about as the most accomplished athlete in modern times. Michael Jordan for example is touted as the greatest basketball player, but he was horrible at baseball. Bo Jackson was just amazing at anything he enjoyed. Had he been born in a different area where basketball was the predominant sport I have no doubt he'd be a superstar in the NBA, instead, his home of Alabama is more football and baseball oriented
@@dansmith6990 calm down bro
@@dansmith6990 bo Jackson wouldn’t of played basketball he would’ve been trash
@@DownInNebraska The saying is "wouldn't have" as in "would not have." "wouldn't of" isn't a thing and highlights your ignorance.
Having said that, you have no idea if Bo would be good at basketball or not, not to mention, your opinion has already been rendered useless.
I don’t even think the kid could take him seriously because it sounds so ridiculous, probably thought the old man was joking until he googled his name. He couldn’t understand the gravity of the moment but I bet you he’ll never forget it once he realizes who he was.
When he gets older, that young man will realize who he really is.
Nah, he totally googled him.
Honest man.... once in a lifetime athlete......

The gentle hat smack for extra emphasis.😂
When I was close to this kid's age, my father took me to the local mall because a former baseball player was there signing autographs. He instructed me to get a nice looking ball, and hop in the car. When we got there, I was surprised to see such a huge line for a player I'd never heard of before. After briefly saying hello, and getting my ball signed, I felt lucky to be part of such a big deal, even though at the time, I didn't fully grasp it. It was later that I understood the gravity. I had just met Hank Aaron, the REAL home run king. Still have the ball.... over 30 years later.
Pretty damn cool, hope you hold on to that ball for another 30 years, and get the autograph authenticated!
I'll give you 5 bucks for it
When you said Hank Aaron, I nearly started tearing up. Wasn't expecting that. That's awesome!
Story gave me goosebumps - not the autograph part, the part where your dad made a memory for the two of you together that you’ll never forget!

Moon Shine perhaps you should learn how to recognize a joke.. all of you fools
“So..I’ve been there.” Bo is the man. His 30 for 30 was excellent.
Most of the stories you hear about him seem like myths. Watch any of his highlights. They were most definitely true.
Bo Jackson was the best player of any sport I’ve ever seen. His dominance was unmatched. The only one that came close was Wayne Gretzky.
Only Gretzky or Phelps could say for sure that they'd dominate Bo in their sport.
If you were around in 80s-90s there was no one better. He was a superstar in 2 sports. Sad kids don't know who he is because it didn't last long enough.
Maradona!!
I never saw Gretzky play football….
