Greatest athlete of his generation

Of course, we will never know, and this is where every discussion of Bo Jackson most often begins and ends. All we have are stories that, with two decades of wear, have already begun to feel like tall tales: of Bo scaling an outfield wall in pursuit of a fly ball until he is hovering sideways, seven feet off the ground; of Bo leaving a dent in the chest of an all-pro safety named Mike Harden; of Bo leading off the 1989 Major League Baseball All-Star Game with a home run, and then making the Pro Bowl after the 1990 NFL season.

And those are just the ones we actually have on videotape.

"We had an outdoor party at a lake after we won the county championship," says Terry Brasseale, Bo's baseball coach at McAdory High School. "Bo's just out there in water up to his waist. All of a sudden, he jumps up, does a backflip out of the water, and lands on his feet. I said to my girlfriend, 'Did you see that?' "

The way Bo tells it, he waited as long as he could, then he fired a slug into that bear's skull. The bear kept coming. His buddy yelled, "Shoot him again!" and Bo shot him again, firing another bullet directly into the bear's noggin. Bo 2, Bear 0. And then Bo skinned that bear on the spot and dragged the 70-pound hide the half-mile back to camp. Of course he did.

Because if anyone can take down a Bear, it's Bo Jackson.

I was very fortunate to meet Bo in Auburn when I was younger. Long story short, my brother was seriously injured in a baseball accident, and arrangements were made for he and my family to come to AU and get the royal treatment at a home game. We were waiting in the lobby of CPD's office when in strolls Bo. He wasn't playing because of a shoulder injury I believe. Anyway, we were the only ones in there so my brother and I yell "IT'S BO! IT"S BO!" So he comes over to us and sits down for quite a while and talks to us. My brother was question after question about football and all I wanted to talk about was deer hunting. Bo obliged by telling me about his 30-30 rifle that he deer hunted with as well as stories about some of his hunts. I will never forget how nice both he and CPD were to us. It was one of the best weekends of my life.

Anyone have a video of Bo scaling the fence in the Royals game? I cannot find it anywhere.
