When Bo throws, the catcher is the cutoff man
Ah-ha. Good one.
I wonder how sore his hand was after catching that throw.
True
Bo's throw was the greatest of all time and this is the greatest comment of all time. 😄
Brilliant
Bo's hip injury robbed us of a decade of highlight reels. What a legend.
Yup. He was the greatest athlete ever in my humble opinion.
@@HugerUge I have often thought that had he decided to become an Olympic decathlete he would have been unbeatable
@@scottrackley4457 that's not fair man lol he's a literal human specimen
Best multi-sport athlete ever. Though Sanders was easily twice as fast.
@@user-of9qq6op5u They're both on my all time top 5 fav athlete.
If he was correctly called OUT, the Royals didn't "get a break."
As close as it can get, but definitely out.
Bo Knows Throws!
It's hilarious how wrong literally every part of the commentary is. "Reynolds gets thrown out far too often..." Harold's basically on second by the time he finishes saying it. "He can't do it. YES HE CAN!" Then railing for the next 90 seconds about how the umps are in the wrong spot instead of that unbelievable throw. Just... Wow.
Yeah, I think that announcer’s enthusiasm was greater than his logic. Dude was tagged out, no question.
Are y’all kidding me the tag was made he’s out or am I missing something
@@stevethomas2285 I really wasn't even close. Clearly out. At least the camera guy got that part on tape.
Greatest throw in the history of baseball and we couldn't even get it on camera
This throw and Jose Guillen's throw in Colorado were the 2 best ever. If Bo played today and made that throw, there would be 25 camera angles and Stat cast galore. 😂😂
@@g.samson3509 lol right? With breakdowns on distance and speed and even flight path 😂
Exactly
Bo just grabbed the ball and threw it. No Wind up, No taking 2 or 3 steps towards the infield and getting his body behind the throw. Incredible!
@@g.samson3509 Bo's nailing of Mike Gallego at third was pretty darn good, too!
LMFAO "Royals get a break..."
Nah, son. Bo hosed the man down like it was first night in Shawshank.
Slapping Socialists baaaahahahahahahahaaha!!! hilarious. Laughing so hard I’m waking people up.
How the Royals got a break was that the umpire who was supposed to make the call was out of position and couldn’t make the call, but the ump that ended up making the call was able to make the correct call even though he was not responsible for making it. Otherwise, it would have likely been called safe simply because of the unlikihood of anybody being able to make that play!
A Freak in Each Sunroof to Keep You Suckas Trippin camera work on that play was shoddy. Could not even see bo pick up the ball and gun it home.
The truth is the umpires weren't expecting that throw.
Fresh Fish
“Royals get a break” what trash commentary for one of the greatest gun downs ever
Sour grapes.
Agreed
He was out so it was the right call.
@@toddschendel4999 he looked out to me. hit pause a few times while watching the replay at the end.
Ben Rance that was a stupid thing to say Royals get a break. Give me a break. That man was out easily. Bo was awesome.
“The Royals get a break...”
Sure did. They got to sign Bo Jackson.
Ha! Yeah, in the 4th round too b/c everyone thought he was going to play football for the Bucs.
FACTS !
@@Musicvidsetc for the Bucs? I thought he played for the Raiders??
@@UptownNYC He was drafted #1 overall in the 1986 draft by the Bucs, but scumbag owner Hugh Culverhouse, who was afraid he was going to play baseball instead, had him fly on a Bucs team jet to Tampa for a visit despite it being a violation of NCAA rules. Jackson asked the Bucs if they had ok'd the trip w/ the NCAA and Culverhouse lied and said they did. When the NCAA found out they suspended Bo for the rest of his senior baseball season. Bo vowed never to play for the Bucs and instead signed w/ the Royals. In those days the NFL rules stated that if you didn't sign a player between one draft and the next that player was available again to be drafted. This was a little known rule and everyone figured Bo was lost to baseball anyway. Al Davis, however, reached out to Jackson's people secretly and found out he was still interested in playing football. Knowing this he drafted Bo in the 7th round of the 1987 draft and that's when Bo famously became a two-sport pro
@@Musicvidsetc much needed history lesson. Youd think this would be a espn special the guy was a dam legend and many americans hero
I love how the announcer goes on and on about the umpire being out of position and the Royals catching a break, and then he finally says, "I think they had him too." Hahahaha
"The Royals catch a break" (Meanwhile Bo had him out by 3')
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm in tears thinking the same!!!
Yep. 😝
was thinking the same thing, blah blah blah Bo threw a bullet and nailed him.
@@crabapple1776 Yeah, I don't understand what 'break' means here. It was the correct call.
One of the best throws in baseball history, accompanied by some of the worst color commentary in baseball history.
lololol true Brett, all rolled up in one
"royals catch a break" what??? the umps made the right call.
"Royals get a break" as the guy was out by a mile.
By 3-4'
By 3-4 feet
My favorite part is the announcer ignoring the replay that shows he was clearly out while he continues to complain that the umpire was out of position.
Did you miss the part where they agreed it was the correct call at the end?
hahah the announcer is a clown.
Actually, he's dead.
@@TheMoezilla No, I didn't miss that part. I just said what my favorite part was.
@Mdmchannel yeah it's like, "The umpires were out of position!!! ... Oh and there was a super human throw, or something there involved too, I think."
The funniest part about this is right after the game Reynolds sat and watched the tape of this game and kept watching this exact play over and over and over and said....hes not supposed to be able to do that. lol.
The way I heard it he was laying there tagged out, beating the dirt, yelling "He don't s'posed to do that! He don't s'posed to do that!"
yeah I remember reading that, I think I would of done the same thing
Then he probably sexually harrassed a woman.
Harold Reynolds was one of the fastest guys in baseball, too
The quote from Reynolds in the paper two days later (late game on the west coast)... "I was there. I was the guy thrown out. I still don't believe it."🤣😁
The throw was incredible and the sweep tag was perfect.
Such a great tag amazing play all around
Absolutely the timing for the catch and precision to get that bit of foot that was just in reach for a second without dropping the ball is underated greatness.
It's hard to look impressive when you're tag teaming with Bo.
In the 4 decades of baseball I've watched, I've never seen coaches so confused by the play they had witnessed. Truly the single most amazing play ever. Imagine throwing a baseball from the back of a football goal line, and hitting the goal post on the other end of the field, with the fastest guy in the league only having to run 30 yards. Its beyond explanation
That Was Bo ,...
Good thing he never got any deep cuts while he played or everyone would have seen his T-800 endoskeleton.
Yeah, they couldn't accept their own eyes.
Jackson and Walker were not normal people.
It was truly amazing, but Harold Reynolds was never the fastest man in the league. Fast, yes. That fast, no.
It was a real athletic tragedy that he got hurt. Man, I loved watching Bo play both sports.
driver8m3
Like Gale Sayers. Another supremely talented player-though “only” in one sport, whose career was diminished by injury. Same with Bobby Orr, too.
I always wonder what if Bo had chosen to go out of bounds instead of cutting back to the inside.
driver8m3 should have listened to mama and stick to baseball
I was 12 years old. I cried my eyes out that day. Still have the poster of him that hung on my wall for years.
He would have been HOF in both sports. No doubt about it!
To this Day, I still say Vincent "Bo" Jackson was the best ATHLETE I have ever seen with these two eyes. The man was just incredible!
Wilt the stilt
Agreed. His strength and speed was off the charts. He was literally the Mike Tyson of ball sports. Dude was a full grown monster in high school hitting 400 foot homeruns. He probably could have been a pro boxer too. Just the thought of getting in the ring with Bo scares me.
@@mikea5205 I can still remember him running along the Outfield Fence once, lol. Ran right up and along the Fence for a couple of strides. I also recall him breaking the Bat like a toothpick over his legs, head, and in his Hands when he struggled with the breaking ball. I guess over time we just forget how incredible he was.
@@MarioMario-nj6kz I don't recall Chamberlain running over LB's and safety's while out running CB's, get a grip.
@@gianlucad8003 key word is athletes not football player. You nfl guys really got no brains. Wilt is bigger faster and stronger then bo
I like how Bo is adjusting himself while the Seattle coaches are arguing with the ump!🤣
He told the story on MLB Network last week he broke his jockstrap he threw it so hard
I was at the game. Sitting in the nearly empty left field talking with Bo right before this play. Still can’t believe I was there for that play. Just prior, Bo was spinning his glove on his finger. What an awesome athlete!!
That’s awesome!!
I was there, as well. A few rows back, third base line. 5th grade. Amazing thing to see. Ill never forget it.
Me too! I was sitting first row, left field line, between Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, right behind the Tooth Fairy. Great game. Will never forget it.
@@situated4 CORNY
@@situated4 I mean I thought it was funny 😂
"Royals get a break, and it's not that man's (HP Ump's) fault". It was nobody's fault, they got the call correct!
tmazz85 LOL exactly. That has to be the worst moment of baseball broacasting ever.
what's odd is that it wasn't the Mariners broadcasters either. Not sure if it was KC or a national TV network.
It was the Royals announcers. Paul Splittorf and Denny Trease
tmazz85...Probably should have listened to the end...they both agreed that the call was correct.
it's not that it was wrong, its that he was out of position to make the call. he was just assuming he was safe from that angel.
Not only the throw, but also perfect play by the catcher.
Bob Boone!
Imagine seeing that throw and being more interested in the umpires
@Taotaomona yeah thats a shame we dont get to see the throw, but we did get to see the tag out at home plate, umps made the right call to the play by play guys shigrin
the coaches and team were just embarrassed at how badly Bo hosed them
The color guy lost his mind then half heartedly agreed with the call.
..
Exactly
If we ever need to make a clone army. Use Bo Jackson’s DNA.
With a slight modification of the hip bone area of that code, don't you think?
the F.R.E.E. J. Nah bro his hip is fine the reason he got injured is because his body was too strong lmao he literally ripped his own hip out of place you couldn’t do that if you wanted
@@snipinmonsta oh really? Because I think I just did that laughing at your comment. Bo Jackson was not Zeus or Hercules, he was an extraordinarily gifted human being. But if you want him to be a god, that's fine with me.
the F.R.E.E. J. Lmao what ? The play that he go injured someone held his leg to try and tackle him when he pulled it up to try and get loose he ripped his leg out of place and it destroyed all the tendons and muscles around it effectively ending his career I’m not making him a god I’m just saying when most people do that they pull a muscle maybe mess up and acl or MCL this man broke his hip and muscles that we haven’t seen injured since he was easily the most athletic player of all time in the NFL so no he isn’t a god but yes he was a level we will never see again
Definitely not I’ll take LeBron James 6’9 265 Faster & Stronger than any athlete you can name....Was thinking about Giannis but I’m not sure
Almost 30 years later and Harold is still out by a mile.
😂
A Whole Mile at that
this is absolutely unreal that we don’t have actual footage of this throw. the greatest throw in the history of the game. @MLB can’t you guys find the original broadcast footage and give us the other angles so we can actually see this ?
0:16
Harold Reynolds declaring himself safe, then slamming his helmet in disgust was the best part:
Lol, I like the way the helmet rolled away.
Every football game...
According to legend, he sat down for hours and watched this clip to figure out how he got gunned
He know he felt that catchers mitt on his foot ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He had to feel that tag.
The thing that's scary about Bo Jackson is he was a mythical figure who was actually real. Amazing throw.
Imagine the career he'd have had if he didnt get hurt.
Yes. He seems like one of those athletes that we shouldn’t have much footage of like satchel Paige except we SEE ALL of Bo’s greatness ! He’s a myth on film
If you ever read his book he literally was one of a kind
The Royals “caught a break” in having Bo Jackson in left field.
Even the catcher seemed surprised that he made that play. What a throw!
I heard the catcher thought the game was over already and started to get up and leave, only to get back to the plate and tag the runner out.
@@tonykartracer8032 Yep. That information was in Bo's "30 for 30" documentary
I think he got him???!!! He got him by a mile!!! Bo Jackson was the greatest athlete ever!!!
He was out by two steps without question.
The left field fence says 316 feet, so where he caught it he threw the guy out at home with a 300 foot rope without a running start. That isn't human.
Robot?
Mutant
Gotta go with cyborg. The best of both worlds.
He didn't even look like he threw it hard.
@@joem2745 That's because he had to take some off, in order to ensure accuracy. If he really gunned it, it might've gotten there as soon as the guy rounded third.
There will never be another Bo Jackson.
No s$%t idiot.
You can't really say never but so far we haven't seen anyone like him.
Bo Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame just for this play alone !
It's Bo. Dude was out before he even rounded 3rd.
pughconsulting ... Right lol... Reynolds running home was just a formality lol
LOL!
pughconsulting Yup. The catcher helped him tuck his legs under.
jungletiger911 you just took that joke and raped the humor right out of it. hope youre proud.
Pughconsulting As stated before Reynolds was thrown out by his father!!!!!!
my boy Harold was fast af too, Bo was a legend
I talked to Darnell Coles (the on-deck batter standing near the plate) about watching this play. He said his mind went from "Harold's going to score" to "Harold is meat" really quickly.
Lifetime, he was 64%, which isn't good. I would only say he had two good years stealing, 1987, and 1991.
That boy is fast too
Puff ... not fast enough bruh
@@sludge4125 Base stealing isn't an indication of speed my man. This wasn't a stolen base attempt either. Reynolds got a good jump on an extra base hit that was done on a HIT AND RUN and got thrown out at the play by a throw from the warning track. It is INSANE.
That has got to be one of the greatest throws in MLB history. So sad Bo's career in both sports were cut short. He was the type of player you would tune in because you expected something great was going to happen!! He had off the chart physical skills, definitely could've been a hall of famer.
They should make a new hall of fame category for players that accomplished so much before their careers cut short
The closest analogy I have is Larry Bird. Did something amazing in every game he played. Geez if Bo had stayed healthy. I was watching that game he got hurt in. Saddest thing I ever saw.
Wasn't even really close....Absolutely amazing....Bo had it ALL like no other. Literally was the fastest guy to have ever played both sports, arguably the strongest running back, and a cannon arm like was in a class of very few and likely the strongest. An absolute freak of nature who is also as good a person as he was an athlete.
No steroids
@@icemanbtlr25absolutely right. Just a great athlete!!
Really he was still learning to hit. Tremendous power of course, but he had some trouble with strikeouts. I have no doubt he'd eventually have figured that out.
He was a beast in football but needed more polish as a baseball player. Had he focused on baseball without playing college/pro football, he stays healthy and probably has a long career in MLB. Maybe a future HOF’er.
Met him at a golf course I worked at outside Chicago about 10 years ago. He was as nice as he is a badass athlete, Bo knows!!
talked to him for a few minutes at the golf course I caddied at, very nice man, easy to talk to.
Ref~Out
Didier~No he was safe.
Ref~We all saw it.
Didier~ I know but thats impossible
I am and was a Mariner fan, BUT Bo nailed him. Incredible throw!
my favorite Bo moment. there will never be another like him.
Yeah, 1:17 tells all. It's pretty incredible that the umpire got the call correct. We were lucky to have Bo here. The Raiders were lucky to have him too. Bo Jackson was the best athlete I have personally ever seen.
Saw him live in Detroit when he was with the Raiders - the Bo and Barry Show.
@@PreyingMantisRanch Barry always stole the show. He is my all time favorite running back.
Had to be hard for KC Chiefs fans to not root for Bo when he played football!
Bo walking around in the outfield like "ain't shit", I will give Reynolds an 8.5 for his distance on the helmet toss.
What can I say? No words can do this play justice. The announcers completely blew the play call. It was embarrassing. This throw to home by Bo Jackson shows him as a bonified once-in-a-lifetime gifted athlete. Talented in EVERY FACET of both, baseball ⚾ & football 🏈...
Best ever
Yeah seriously they are clucking on and on about outfield positioning when they just probably witnessed the most beastly throw of all time. Embarrassing.
*umpire
Not only an awesome throw, but a great play on the sweep tag. Was that Bob Boone? It's hard to catch the name on the uniform.
Yeah it was Bob Boone
He doesn't get injured, Bo goes down as the greatest all time pro athlete.
Bo Jackson and Mike Tyson highlight videos... there goes my night
this x1000
Bo was awesome but to include the sick in the head bastard Tyson in the same sentence should be a crime.
Yeah, those were 2 dominant athletes in their sports during the late 80's early 90's. But careers ended by different issues.
Mike Tyson is awesome, I dont care what any one says.
Larry Bird highlight vids are some a the best too
one of the great athletic moments in the game over-ridden by a critique of ump rotation.
Best outfield throw I've ever seen bar none. Reynolds was no slouch on the bases and Bo threw that from the warning track. Unreal.
Bo Jackson was one of sports greatest raw talents period,that throw was on the money,
The
Got him on the ankle. Helluva play by the catcher, and Bo was a cyborg.
Dude still tried to make HIS point after that clear replay. Baseball is King
As Bo is known for saying, "I threw a pellet".
May be the best throw of all time...he was out
316 feet to the Right Field Wall. Bow it 314 feet. Ball on the fly to less than 3 yards from the plate. 311 feet in the air. Best Throw EVER in MLB!!
if it's 316ft from the wall, he throws is from 314ft, and it lands 3 yards short of home, that's 302ft throw not 311... because 3 yards is 9 feet...
Dwayne, buddy. I agree, but having a veteran catcher there helped the play out a lot. He knew how to tag HR.
Not even close. Roberto Clemente threw a ball from the right filed corner in Wrigley Field at the 352 ft. sign on the fly to home and got the runner by 6ft.
Roberto Clemente....yes.
Watch Rick Ankiel throw 2 guys out from CF in the same game...These 3 throws are top 10 all time of whats on video at least
What a shame Bo's career got cut short by injury, he was BOTH the most exciting player in baseball AND football.
Bo was a straight freak of nature athlete. Amazing through, dude was out buy like 2-3 feet lol
Bo Jackson might be the best athlete in human history.
"I think they had em though...don't you?" "I think they do." Hilarious.
Right! He's so incensed and angry but then "oh....yeah he was out"
The only break the Royals got there was Bo Jackson having the greatest, most accurate cannon for an arm in baseball history.
Don't know about that.
Roberto Clemente and Ichiro Suzuki are better in my opinion
@@haroldfrets1268 Warren Cromarte had a cannon
You can't leave out Ellis Valentine or Dave Parker. Darrell Evans also had a great arm.
Not even close. Usually left fielder's are the weakest of the three outfielders which is why they're in left field.
He could have been a perfect QB. Obviously running out of that position would be like breathing for Bo.
Everyone thought the play was done and started to walk away. But "bo knows baseball " it ain't over till bo says we're done 😅😊
Perfectly unbelievable throw! Scoop up every conceivable accolade and pin them along this frozen rope by Bo Jackson. Zeus and all his thunderbolts have nothing on this laser!
There was no break. Harold was out, and by the replay, it wasn't even a bang bang play. Boone applied the tag before he ever got close to touching the base.
Still frame shows glove on runner at the back line of the batter's box...Not even close! Wow what a throw!!
Had they replay then as they do today, New York would have called the runner out. Great play by one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Every time I watched Bo Jackson played baseball or football I always knew he was capable of dominating and doing things others just could not. Bo was a far superior athlete to anyone around him.
I'd have to say in my 45 years watching baseball, this is best throw I've seen. Maybe Dave Parker in the All - Star game is a close 2nd (also in Seattle)... Bo is hands down the best athlete I've had the pleasure to watch. He was absolutely AMAZING!
wow...... Reynolds ran well too, got a great jump, made a nice cut.... nice slide...play was in front of him...
Jackson was a freak of nature!
I'm a life long Red Sox fan, but totally had a Bo Jackson t-shirt when I was 12. I had room for both. Incredible athlete.
The Myth. The Legend. Bo Jackson
Harold Reynolds was fast and he could not believe it. Ran into the locker room to watch it on reply
That's lack of smarts and not getting a good jump. He was definitely fast.
He was also picked off running back into the locker room.
@@jasont7814 Hahahaha.. you slayed me with that one
Imagine get all tied up in the minutia of umpire positioning immediately after witnessing THAT display of pure strength and athleticism. Then he says “The Royals get a break”😂😂😂. Reynolds was out by 4 feet.
Greatest Athlete in the history of sports.
Forgot Reynolds was on the move too. Making it even more impressive
Of course the umpires were out of position - why on earth would anyone think a human being can make a throw like that from the wall to home plate and catch someone who runs as fast as Reynolds? Everyone expected a throw to third or a cut off. The only two people who thought that throw was possible were Bo Jackson and that catcher!
Well, even the catcher didn't think the throw was possible. Bob Boone said he was walking off the field, and then he saw the ball coming from Bo, stepped back on the field, caught the ball and tagged Harold out.
Specterling Sphincterling, I think Bo probably made the greatest throw in history that night and was probably the only person in that stadium who knew it could be done.
It was the bottom of the 10th, so the Royals had nothing to lose by throwing home. The first base umpire took the play off.
"Royals get a break." Only if you mean they're lucky that the right call was made despite the fact there was no one in position and yet they still got the call right.
I just wish the camera stayed with the ball throughout the play, though I don't blame anyone for thinking the game was about to be over.
Every year I have to come back and watch this video. Was the best throw of all time in baseball.
he got him. wasn't sure at full speed, but the replay sure shows it. wow!
... To this day it's the best throw I've ever seen, by a considerable margin.
Puig did a good one a few yrs back, I think. But yeah Bo is bo
Josh Reddick (astros) did one two weeks ago from right field , putting the ball in the PERFECT position for the catcher ! OUT ! A BETTER THROW THAN BO !
@@thomasfletcher1971 -Blasphemy Thomas , utter Blasphemy. 😆
Then you haven't seen Clemente or Ichciro from right field gun people down on third base. Home plate is easier since you have the lines guiding you....
@@haroldfrets1268 whatever that throw was incredible.
Bo Knows how to make perfect throws
I can’t believe there aren’t better camera angles for this. I was alive back then. We had the technology.
The best Fielding play ever in the history of Major League Baseball.
Perhaps this jag could quit whining long enough to appreciate how spectacular the play he just saw was.
And that was the Royals' announce team, too. Denny Trease and Paul Splittorff
One of the greatest plays in MLB history.,
Bo Jackson was a once in a lifetime freak of nature; but I've never seen a throw from any outfielder with the velocity in DEEP outfield to get a baseball player at home who had rounded third base at the time of the throw from outfield: Insane throw; amazing...
Bo Jackson highlight reels are the equivalent of your grandpa telling you about the time he saw Joe "Steamboat" Flanagan hit a ball over the American flag and into the orphanage two blocks away, except Jackson's highlights are all there on lo-fi '80s video.
"He can't do it...yes he can!" I love that part.
Watched this game on tv for 3 hours. Everyone thought it was over here as Reynolds was the winning run in extra innings. Royals came back and won the game.
I like how he is like "it'll be up to Bo Jackson."
He's on the fucking warning track with Reynolds - who can fly - and it was still in the realm of possibility that Jackson could get him. And then he did it.
reynolds wasn't "fly" fast. just because he is black don't mean he can fly. reynolds caught stealing percentage was horrible
You can fly and be a bad base runner buddy. Yes, Reynolds could flat out fly.
freddieman c I don’t think you understand how it works… Runners have to be sent a signal to steal… Unless they’re good enough to be able to steal whenever they feel like it… Either situation requires the manager believing you have enough speed to steal a base… Of which he stole 250 of them. That means he was fast enough that the manager kept saying still try and steal a base.
@@tubemaniac206 No. He could fly.
No other athlete in history was an all-star in two sports in the same year. In 1989 Bo was not only an all-star in football and baseball, he was MVP of the MLB all-star game. He is the greatest athlete to ever walk this earth.
Imagine this highlight with today’s camera angles
Bo Jackson; one of the greatest athletes of all time.
The commentators were seriously lacking in commentary..... Bo gunned him down and the only break was the bad break the runner got when he ran against one of the greatest athletes ever....
Bo was one of the greatest athletes of all time, and I’m an Alabama fan. I’m grateful that I got to see him play both football and baseball.
Saw him play both in college. He looked like a giant next to all those skinny 80's college baseball players and I watched him get to 3rd on a triple so damn fast it didn't seem possible.
The commentary on this play was right. He nailed him by a mile.
Anyone else feel like we got robbed a few good years of watching this freak? What a cannon!
Got robbed of about 12 years imho, the claw Ninja.
Wish he never played football.
Never forget the day he got hurt. It looked like such a no-big-deal football injury at the time, but ... hips, man. You can't do nothin' without hips.
Camera work from the 1980s, yeesh
No kidding. These days we would have been able to see that from multiple angles.
Eric Viola...I don't think any cameraman from any generation would have expected that throw.
But today there would be several more cameras anyway, so at least one of them would have been covering Jackson whether or not the throw would have been expected..
Camera work was legit. Dudes in the production truck sucked open ass though.
0:47 *cuts to bo adjusting his cup*
The managers are arguing the call mostly out of confusion, they knew he was out, they just cant believe what they just saw
The Daniel Camarena grand slam brought me here.
You see some crazy things in sports and this is one of them. Athletes like Bo Jackson are literally once in a lifetime. LIke someone said about the Derrick Henry 99 yard TD run. If a guy is big enough to tackle him, he's too slow. If a guy is fast enough to tackle him, he's not big enough. Vincent "BO" Jackson was that rare combination of size and speed. JIm Brown was big and fast, but he wasn't Bo Jackson big and THAT fast. This throw? He didn't wind up. Didn't have time. He caught it off the wall and just turned and threw. My God.
He was out, Bo was the best athlete Ive even seen in my 50 plus years of watching sports.
Same. He got hurt and it deprived us of seeing him play more. He was awesome
The umpires probably weren't expecting Bo to make that kind of a throw. Harold was clearly out too.
Bo was the best 2 sports athlete of all time
I saw Bo play for KC. He was just better than everyone else. He made the game look so easy.
I COULD WATCH BO JACKSON ALL DAY
