Of all his miraculous abilities, i am especially drawn to the fact that he has the most beautiful dive and roll baseball catches i've ever seen. Perfect coordination, strength, and dancer-like fluidity. It's so good, it's cartoonish; fantastic. I'm just glad there's video of the man, because no one would believe the stories...

I was blessed to have Auburn football tickets when he was there. Unless you saw him in person it is hard to understand how fast he was. Television did not do him justice. He ran faster in full football gear than most humans could ever run in track shorts. He really is a once in a generation athlete.
You mean once in human existence. I cant see a duplicate happening.. Guys that big cant run 4.1 or 4.2 40 times. And thst body and never picked a weight up. Insane. Hes the best. No denying it. Compete athlete. #1
I was there at royals stadium when Bo threw like a cannon from the wall all the way to home plate, simply awe inspiring, my brother and I just looked at each with our jaws dropped !

What a gifted man. He probably could've played tennis too. Imagine Bo moving left and right like a cheetah then crushing your serve right back at you at 150mph.
this is the same thought Richard Williams had when he turned his two tennis playing sons into girls (Victor and Seren who he renamed Venus and Serena) and moved from michigan to florida to leave no trace of having SONS. Bo was a "Man amongst boys" But Serena is a "Man amongst women"
@@irock4u222 I'd say one of the best and it's only a few on the list to begin with.....lol. Ill also add Wilt on that list because he's in the basketball and volleyball hall of fame.
@@sdcardcollector7336 I hear what you're saying, but you still can't prove it. Like I said, bo was power and deion was finesse, but wilt was actually both of them combined.
Kirby Puckett saying he gets hyped up to see you play baseball. Some of the highest praise a player could receive. Bo was the closest thing to a superman we may ever see. Kirby brought love of the game like no other. Two careers that were cut short at their height. -RIP Mr. Puckett -
I was never a baseball fan, but caught Kirby on TV by accident one day. There was just something about him that ignited an interest in baseball after that. I was born into an Auburn household so Bo was greatly loved before he hit the pros. It broke my heart for him when he got hurt. My son, born in 82, grew up hearing me talk about Bo. A few years ago he got the chance to see some of these clips and had to admit I wasn’t exaggerating. Bo will always be the GOAT to me.
Bo Jackson. The most exciting baseball and football player ever to play. He was so awesome that in video games his character was made to be untouchable. If you ever played Tecmo Superbowl you know what I mean.
Oh yeah. With Tim Brown returning kicks to the house. Barry Sanders/Mel Gray were the next best on the game but still had some chance to stop Sanders. Not Bo though. Even when defense picked the play.
Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor were broken characters. Lol. If you knew how to use Lawrence Taylor, you could dive at an angle into the tackle and sack the quarterback every play. Lol. And Bo Jackson made the Raiders an illegal team to play against friends.
I was most fortunate to see Bo play perhaps 7 times in KC..the stadium was bored until his name came over speaker..the stadium would stand up..I remember when he set up in box, two things would happen shortly, a strikeout or HR...his bat speed was so great, if he made contact..the ball was going to go..then my mom got a job working for a KC area photographer, one of his clients was the Jackson family. My mom met him several times and held his then newborn baby..they were doing family portraits..she said he most polite and just a nice man..she was surprised alittle how he walked amd talked in a humble way..he is polar opposite to the glory addicts that saturate professional sports Tóday..
Bo was amazing. I had the good fortune to be able to see him play when he was at Auburn. He also came to my hometown with a girl he was dating. He came to Church with her and her family. Supper nice guy. I won't ever forget it. He was 1 in a million!
It's easy to be polite and humble in public when you know you're one of the greatests athletes. Competitive wise, he wanted to win just as much as the other players.
This is a great compilation. Because these are not just the elite among his contemporaries; they are elite icons in the history of baseball. And they aren't just saying these great, superlative things about Bo - they're in genuine awe of him. You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices. They are almost in disbelief as they are recalling his performances. I don't think I've ever seen a compilation of praise for an athlete quite like this.

lol... Bo... led the league in strikeouts in 1989... never hit more than 17 doubles in a season.... a lifetime .250 hitter... who whiffed more than once every 3 times up duh duh duh
I cried the day he got hurt. Bengals stole bo from the world. Well, not really, it was a freak injury, but the sentiments of a 12 year old who got to see his hero play the games he did... are still there. Had a poster of him with his shoulder pads on and a bat stretched over the back of his neck with his hands on the ends of the bat. He inspired me to rush for a lot of touchdowns and hit a lot of home runs and throw guys out and run over them in high school... He had another decade of highlight reels left in him, easily. EASILY.
Bo took Bo out, go watch his 30 for 30. He was so strong while trying to break loose, he dislocated his own hip. Could of been any team, any shoelace tackle. Bo was to strong for his own good. Favorite athlete of all time hands down, hall of fame calibur in two sports.
@@ericduncan6179 No he wouldn't . Bo was a great athlete......He did some great things But not a great baseball player 250 hitter , that's mediocre Football , he was fast , not a great blocker , not a great pass catcher , no moves Bo was a great athlete for sure and fun to watch . But he had no chance to be the best or even in the top 200 of any sport
Bo is above everyone in sports all time. Never met the Man, doesn't matter, I've seen plenty of through documentaries and personal accounts to add that he might have been an even better person. Thank you Vincent, for all the joy you brought people and the exemplary way you conducted yourself.......showing millions of youth the proper way to handle yourself on and off the playing fields. Displaying grit and pure unadulterated hustle combined with your natural off the charts talents. Bless you and your family.
Hearing Nolan Ryan get a little pissy talking about Bo Jackson hitting the longest homerun ever at that stadium off him is priceless. "Well when u have a power hitter facing a POWER PITCHER, and they hit the ball it goes a long way" LMAO. This is NOLAN RYAN! Ryan is the greatest ever and Bo even made him feel a certain way. Unreal, absolutely the best athlete ever, if he didn't hurt his hip he would be in the hall of fame in 2 sports.
Donnie Baseball clip in there . My fave all-time player . Very cool video . A ton of real deal stars all giving Bo his props. Man what a freak Bo was. And that's a compliment to any fools that didn't know .
I saw Bo hit two walk-off home-runs as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning as a Angel in his final season. It was the best thing to see in person ever, but yet there is no footage of this on youtube? Only 10% of Bo's baseball highlights are on youtube, I know everyone of his games is in a fault, you who control of this priceless footage?
He won 2 straight State Decathalon Championships. He didn't even the run the Mile Race. He had scored enough points in 9 events to sit out the Mile. Incredible!
Bo Jackson was an absolutely amazing athlete. To this day I have never seen a more finely tuned machine. Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, they all needed P.E.D.s to be amazing hitters. For Bo Jackson it just came naturally. Kansas City was extremely lucky to have him as a player for so many years.
In a subsequent Sports Illustrated cover story, Jackson's high school coach stated that Jackson wore sweat pants to school every day and, during each ten-minute break between classes, he would do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and then sprint to his next class.
He ran for 3 inside the park HR'S in 89' ( he blasted 30 out of the MLB PARKS in just 92 games !!) He would have been the ONE AND ONLY 50 /50 man ever !! ( more then once I do believe as he stole 66 bases in those 92 games he played with KC after the NFL was done !!) +plus that RIFLE of an arm !! GOD BLESSED that man and I am glad to have seen his STAR SHINE !! Love and MAD RESPECT FOR Vincent " Bo " Jackson !!! ( we are the same age)..I am a huge fan as is my step-son !!
One of my favorite quotes was from Nolan Ryan... "Once he connected, I knew it was gone - I just turned and wondered how far it would go..." [paraphrased] Getting accolades from legends like Ryan, Puckett, etc... "Bo knows Bo" Side-note: Got to meet Ryan when I played Little League back in the 70's - it was awesome.
I've heard countless Bo Jackson interviews and I don't recall him ever praising other athletes, past or present. He took over Marcus Allen's job as if it was nothing and I've never heard him even acknowledge Allen's existence. Jackson was in awe of nobody. He knew he was the best athlete every time he stepped on a field. And pro football and pro baseball were just hobbies for him. Lol
The guy was the greatest athlete in my lifetime 40+ years BY FAR! He was such an athlete that when Deion Sanders did the same pro baseball and football thinG, Deion seemed like a wanna-be. Remember now, Deion is regarded as one of the best cover corners and punt/kick returners in nfl history.
Bo Jackson ran a 100 yd dash in 9.54 seconds at Auburn; his 40 yd dash at the NFL combines was at 4.12 seconds, bench press 225 lbs at 41 reps, and bench press 450 pounds. He had a 40.5" vertical leap. He was a 6'1" 230 pound freak of nature. He even snapped a baseball bat; George Brett called Bo Jackson a superhuman
Bo Jackson is by far the greatest athlete the world has ever seen.. To have the Power he had and the Speed together is rare. Bulldozes thru lineman, hits 500 foot home runs and runs a 4.1 40 yd dash.. AND Natural too, imagine if he took some juice like Bonds or McGuire did..
Bo Jackson is not the only one of the Best Baseball Players or Best Football Players or Track Players with Speed to burn, but he is no doubt the best gifted athletes period I’ve ever seen.
One of the best to do it in the M.L.B. and the N.FL. and he always gave it the crowd what they needed in the baseball field and the football field. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
In a game in 89 I remember Bo was on first and George Brett was on second, someone hits a ball into the gap and by the time George Brett scored from second he had Bo right on his hip one step behind him scoring from first.
The Don Mattingly one I love - because some of his greatest catches absolutely ARE because he took a bad route to the ball, but he was so damn athletic he could adjust...
I had behind the plate seats at Toronto's Skydome in the late 80's during a pre-season game between the Royals and Jays and saw Bo hit a ball into the upper deck at the dome about 10 feet foul....with only one hand on the bat. It was the longest "check swing" foul ever.
I was thinking they all looked child like. Especially Mattingly, and Joyner. Wally looked like an excited bat boy. Bo made pros Major League All Star rosters giddy. and still made a bitch out of Boz who had become a punk by then, and needed it. Be the time he did Stone Cold he wasn't a douche anymore. Land of Boz was a cool poster that stayed on same wall with 2 Bo's. Never stopped liking the guy, he just needed a little BoHog attitude adjustment.
Those weren't bat boys or grounds keepers. Those were the best players of the era, and some all time greats that were like little kids talking as if had caught a lucky glimpse of their hero. You could see how awkward the cam can make other muscular men look when Canseco does his impression of a pregnant goose while Bo helps himself to an in park round trip. Bo looked like raw talent still learning how to stand in the box sometimes, then jack one 450. At his worst though, he never looked like Canseco. Its easy to get too muscle bound for the game. That's what made him so Impressive. To me anyway. That is not a baseball body, but he made it work.
And it's just a thing he didn't even have to think about. Like that kip to his feet in his uni and cleats, no hands. Someone said when he was in HS he was in a lake swimming with friends, and was standing in water to his waist. he could jump up out of the water, back flip and land. That's pure superman shit.
In that time period enemy #1 was Elway.... After him there was no more hate to go around. I loved Bo as a Royal and I respected him as a Raider.. Mainly because the Raiders were not a threat at that particular time. They did actually win the Division in 1990 but we swept them and also made the playoffs.
I'm 62 yrs old n followed all 3 major sports......Bo Jackson is by far the best athlete I've ever seen.
All 3 major sports? You must mean hockey, football , basketball, because baseball is and activity not a sport. Kinda like pickle ball
When George Brett says "it was the greatest play I have ever seen", believe it!

If there was EVER an exception to be made for the '5 year rule'....it's Bo Jackson. No one, not even Hall of Famers, could deny the impact Bo had.
That is funny!
Bo Jackson ran a 100 yd dash in 9.54 seconds at Auburn; his 40 yd dash at the NFL combines was at 4.12 seconds, bench press 225 lbs at 41 reps, and bench press 450 pounds. He had a 40.5" vertical leap. He was a 6'1" 230 pound freak of nature. He even snapped a baseball bat; George Brett called Bo Jackson a superhuman
Nobody will ever be able to argue me that Bo Jackson wasn't the greatest athlete of all time. He was like a machine against humans.
Bo Jackson is by far the greatest athlete the world has ever seen.. To have the Power he had and the Speed together is rare. Bulldozes thru lineman, hits 500 foot home runs and runs a 4.1 40 yd dash.. AND Natural too, imagine if he took some juice like Bonds or McGuire did..
Bo Jackson is not the only one of the Best Baseball Players or Best Football Players or Track Players with Speed to burn, but he is no doubt the best gifted athletes period I’ve ever seen.
One of the best to do it in the M.L.B. and the N.FL. and he always gave it the crowd what they needed in the baseball field and the football field. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
No other lifetime .250 hitter is held in such high esteem... because he brought so much more to the game than a batting average
Another amazing reason to Love UA-cam
This video is like uncovering a time machine..
simply priceless
In a game in 89 I remember Bo was on first and George Brett was on second, someone hits a ball into the gap and by the time George Brett scored from second he had Bo right on his hip one step behind him scoring from first.
I would catch myself saying “you’re not supposed to be able to do that!” When he played either sport.
The Don Mattingly one I love - because some of his greatest catches absolutely ARE because he took a bad route to the ball, but he was so damn athletic he could adjust...
I had behind the plate seats at Toronto's Skydome in the late 80's during a pre-season game between the Royals and Jays and saw Bo hit a ball into the upper deck at the dome about 10 feet foul....with only one hand on the bat. It was the longest "check swing" foul ever.
This is awesome, and Bo Jackson is the awesomist, but also it's worth pointing out that 6:36 Wally Joyner is and always will be 11 years old.
I was thinking they all looked child like. Especially Mattingly, and Joyner. Wally looked like an excited bat boy. Bo made pros Major League All Star rosters giddy. and still made a bitch out of Boz who had become a punk by then, and needed it. Be the time he did Stone Cold he wasn't a douche anymore. Land of Boz was a cool poster that stayed on same wall with 2 Bo's. Never stopped liking the guy, he just needed a little BoHog attitude adjustment.
He's 1 of the best to ever play the game!
Best athlete ever. I can't even think of who's close, really.
One of the best.....BO KNOWS!!!!!!
What an electric player he was. One of the greats.

Those weren't bat boys or grounds keepers. Those were the best players of the era, and some all time greats that were like little kids talking as if had caught a lucky glimpse of their hero. You could see how awkward the cam can make other muscular men look when Canseco does his impression of a pregnant goose while Bo helps himself to an in park round trip. Bo looked like raw talent still learning how to stand in the box sometimes, then jack one 450. At his worst though, he never looked like Canseco. Its easy to get too muscle bound for the game. That's what made him so Impressive. To me anyway. That is not a baseball body, but he made it work.
Bo is still the only person ever to play in Pro Bowl & All Star game……Crazier, he did it in the same year.
I agree with Everything positive that was said. But, that run on the fence blows me away.
And it's just a thing he didn't even have to think about. Like that kip to his feet in his uni and cleats, no hands. Someone said when he was in HS he was in a lake swimming with friends, and was standing in water to his waist. he could jump up out of the water, back flip and land. That's pure superman shit.
RIP Kirby Puckett
Not a fan of Baseball or American fotball
But Bo Jackson is the GOAT sportsathlet
Truth is, I pooh poohed the hype...figuring it just could not be! Well, now even I know Bo!
Had Bo not gotten injured he would have been the only athlete to make both the baseball and football Halls of Fame.
Bo was actually that good.
How was it for KC fans when Bo was your hero during baseball season and your nemesis during football season?
In that time period enemy #1 was Elway.... After him there was no more hate to go around. I loved Bo as a Royal and I respected him as a Raider.. Mainly because the Raiders were not a threat at that particular time. They did actually win the Division in 1990 but we swept them and also made the playoffs.
I was a kid asking my parents "If he's playing football why not with the Chiefs?" Now I'm like curse you vile football!!
Bo was a freak. If he would have stayed with Baseball a shitload of records would have been broken.
Can remember Bo one of a very, very few that really could do 2 sports well
Jim Abbott pride of Flint Mi. I always thought Deon was showing off but Bo was just a natural beast.
He was a Bad Man! Best athlete ever.
Loved Bo!
3:37 Respect even by the other team. You don't see that anymore, sad because some players deserve it.
4:55 .. best arm ever
R.I.P KIRBY
Probably the best throw in baseball history
