Bo Jackson

Jackson’s phenomenal talent was on full display in the 1989 All-Star Game. Kansas City’s left fielder crushed a lead-off home run off Rick Reuschel, and followed that up with an RBI groundout to give the American League a 3-2 lead. Jackson promptly stole second base, as well as singling off Tim Burke to lead off the fourth inning. He was named the game’s MVP in the middle of his best season – he hit 32 homers with 26 steals and 105 RBI in 1989. Bo also played running back for the Los Angeles Raiders, and became the first athlete to play in the All-Star Game in two major sports. A 1991 hip injury against the Bengals forced hip replacement surgery, but Bo’s baseball career continued – he played two seasons with the White Sox and one with the Angels before retiring in 1994.
