- What tragic day it was for the world of sports when Bo was no longer able to play. What an unbelievable athlete this guy was. I will always remember him literally running Brian Bosworth over and subsequently ending his career. I think that was the reason why Bos quit playing, but I don't quite remember, it was so long ago, but I will remeber the running over.lol

- The Bo Jackson Game Boy game pictured has some of the worst graphics I've ever seen in a game. Pitching a perfect game in the baseball game is also ridiculously easy. Just line the pitcher up on the far side of the mound and pitch a fastball to the opposite side of the plate. Strike every time, batter swings and misses every time. I won't blame Bo, though. You should mention that he's now a really good cook, among other things.
