What's a career .250 hitter doing on this list? Bo Jackson had to be seen to be believed. He climbed outfield walls, broke bats in half with his bare hands, ran over catchers and hit baseballs ridiculously far for someone who spent a good chunk of his career playing in the NFL and was rumored to have leapt tall buildings in a single bound.

How awful if you're in your late 20s, a huge football fan, and never got to see Bo run. The speed, the power, the change-of-direction ... breathtaking. The anticipation before one of his games in a way-too-short pro career (38 games, 515 carries) with the Raiders was scintillating. Too bad he dislocated his hip in 1989 against the Bengals. Like Sayers, he too, would have been an all-time great.

Completely agree. A consumate athlete. All natural. And he pancaked that asshole from OU. For that I am grateful. There's a story about what George Brett said about him in the locker room one day. I can't remember how it went, but it was a supreme compliment from one of the greats of baseball. Yes, too bad his career was cut short.
