 Trivia and Player Notes
If there's one thing that "Bo Knows", its injuries. Despite being one of the most prolific 2-sport stars in the history of sports and despite his marketability as a super-human athlete, Jackson spent the brunt of his NFL and MLB career battling injuries culminating in hip-replacement surgery which ended his football career and rendered him a designated hitter in baseball.

Jackson finished tied for 6th at the 1989 Home Run Derby.

Notes: Played in 1 All-Star game during his career (1989)
