Most of these Bo Jackson stories are hyperbole. Gore had 43 SBs and CS 9. Jackson 82 SBs and 32 CS. Thats a bunch to be caught stealing and a much worse ratio than Gore. Thar is just one example. Picked a random athletic guy nobody cares about out of the air. You could do that with a bunch of players.
Bo Jackson was a great athlete. But people love to embellish and make him out as if he was the best athlete ever. There have been plenty of guys as good or better athletes than him. Jackson one of the more overrated players there has been because people back then just went into a frenzy about the two way sport thing. They did the same thing with Deion Sanders. Kyler Murray could have been a 1st round pick in baseball and football as well and literally nobody gives a shit. Nowadays you just pick a sport.

Hopefully Ragans brings the good stuff today. On the other side, Bibee has been pitching well, so runs might be at a premium this afternoon. A win would glorious. LFG!

29% caught stealing rate Bo Jackson.
18% caught stealing rate Gore. And Gore was put in the game literally to only steal bases so there was no surprise factor to help him be more successful. And Gore is just some random athletic guy I picked out of the air. But Bo Jackson ran up a wall! I one time saw him out run a Ferrari. He jumped over a two story building! My dads buddies grandpa said he saw him throw out a guy standing in Utah and home plate in California! These stories just keep getting more embellished every year. Its like how every year the fish you caught gets bigger.

Bo Jackson was amazing. He split time between two sports and he still managed to put up a wOBA of .380 and a 140 OPS+ playing the difficult sport of baseball at age 27 before his hip injury.

He got better as a baseball player every year of his career and his skill set was still raw. If he only played baseball, he'd be an all-time great. One of the best athletes this country has ever produced.
