JohnStamos Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Is it me your thinking off? I'm not sure if he was sport a Sox cap, but the plumber from Desperate Housewives was a White Sox fan. The other White Sox supporter was catching for Americans for the first half of the game. Didn't catch his name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I have no memories of Bo Jackson....

I saw some of his football games in highlight reels but no baseball...... and from all acconts ive missed on one hell of an athlete and person. Maybe one of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. His injury destroyed "what could have been" Powerful as Frank Fast like Ichiro A cannon for a arm like Vlad I remember a game in 93 when a player hit a bullet down the RF line into the corner. He tried to strecth it into a triple. Bo nailed him from the corner in RF on a frozen line-drive throw to Robin Ventura at 3rd. The ball never touched the ground.

He was the fastest man in the football draft when he came out He was a huge back He would have broke all kinds of records in football Is he the only player to play in an all-star game in both football and baseball at the major league levels? Best athlete I have ever seen, hands down. No one even comes close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quade36 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 John Kelly was a huge Chicago Sports fan while he did the sports for Channel 5. It was nice to see him wear a Sox hat. Someone else said he is on Extra now, guess he moved up in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 That was great and so was the time where he caught the ball full stride and continued to run up the wall. Didn't that happen in the All Star game that Bo homered off of Rick Rueschel. I think he won the ASG MVP ...maybe 1989? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 The guy played 108 games in Chicago and goes down as one of the most beloved Sox of all time. That's a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofIChiSox Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Doesn't Bo come to Sox spring training still to be a guest instructor sometimes though? I think he has more continuing ties with us than the Royals. Also, I know Jose Canseco is not the most looked up to guy, but he speaks very highly of Bo Jackson in his book. He talks about how amazed he was with Bo because he was the only guy in baseball bigger and faster than Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
